Why do you want this feature?

@opusforlife2 Sorry to bother, since this is a feature request, I am wondering if we can work on this.

Hey @HaoAnu! Thanks for showing an interest in contributing. Unfortunately, the app is undergoing a major refactor right now, and devs are discouraged from sending in feature PRs. You can still do so, but there's a very low probability of them being reviewed any time soon. If you're still okay with that, please go ahead!

Sorry, we can not keep on working on this issue based on the following reasons:

1. To place the progress bar between the playback interface and the title, the progress bar needs to be placed in the upper layer component. This is quite a lot change to make due to current PlayerUI design. Also considering this bar is also reused in landscape mode, it will add more changes to adapt orientation change.
2. There is a side panel on this screen which will intercept the scroll on the left side. This will interrupt the seek function at the beginning, which I believe is not expected.
3. There is a preview of seek on the top of current seekbar. If we move the bar below the playback interface, it is too far between them, which I think is also not expected.

Because of these reasons, I do not think this feature is feasible on current code design.
