Option to stick progress bar always to bottom of the player

Open mkarpusiewicz opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

PROBLEM: Always show progres bar is a great option however it would be great if there was also an option to show progress bar always at bottom. After you hover for the controls to show progress bar moves above the controls. An option to stick progress bar to the same position always would be very nice.

SOLUTION:
Option to stick progress bar always to bottom of the player even if player controls are shown when hovering over the player.

SHORT Table (Summary)

Hi @mkarpusiewicz, So you want the buttons to have a slightly higher position than what you are used to? Will you like another option (that we are still missing) 'player controls: below player'?

@ImprovedTube generally I'd like to have an option for the progress bar to be always at bottom, something like this (forgive me for my crude drawing) image

Yes. Wondered before. It makes sense. As you do get used to the static position and want it to be constant.
Thus we should also not move the buttons up by any pixels compared to YouTube's standard but make the timebar overlap them 🤔

  1. Compared it with an alternative: moving the full controls bar below the player (fixed, statically. without altering it/without moving buttons above time-bar). So the whole hover animation wont be neccessary (and new users of this feature could get used to the change at once instead of splitting it in two phases) 'Always show player control bar below the video'
