Add video filename over video window when mouse hoving

[jsalatiel]

Expected behaviour

When you move mouse over video window, in addiction to the video controls we should also be able to see the name of the video that is being played. This would help a lot when you have a directory full of videos!

Actual behaviour

You cant see the name of the video being played.

I agree that this would be a UI improvement. I'll check with the design team and look into it.

Is showing/hiding the file name along with the video controls ok with you and how should it look?

This is the new video player UI:

I would suggest something like this?

@Instagit looks good, yes! :) Can you adjust the font so it uses Open Sans which we use everywhere in the interface? (Same for the subtitles.) The video filename you can basically put in a <h2> (or use the h2 styles).

[Instagit]

Sure. :)

a classical easy way solution would be to add:

• a gradient from top black (opaque) to lower black (transparent)
• the gradient is about 60% of height starting
• the font in white is in the upper part
• so it will be always visible in any case: if background is even full white
