Show stream download progress when playing via external player

[subins2000]

What version of WebTorrent Desktop are you using? 0.21.0

What operating system and version? Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

What problem do you want to solve? When playing via external player, there's no way to know what's the current download progress. If you go back to the main window, the external streaming also stops.

What do you think is the correct solution to this problem? Keep displaying the playback red line progress in the WebTorrent player even in the "Playing external" window.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to implement this change? Yes

Could this be the same feature that it is implemented in #1217 ? In that case let's get the PR reviewed and merged! 😉

Yes that's it. I didn't know there was a PR & issue for this. Thanks @hicom150.

but it'd be also cool to show the bottom playback red line for progress

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

The associated PR has been merged #1217. The one thing left to do is that WebTorrent needs a new release. Last release was in 2020 👀 .
