Better seek bar for longer songs/live shows.

[OutshineIssue]

Feature request:

The seek bar works fine for the average 4 minute song because if you want to listen to the last bit again, you drag the thumb a little to the left and that's it, a 10 seconds rewind, cool. The problem comes when you enjoy live shows like I do, where the recordings are 1 to 2 hours long, and the same drag action could mean an 8 minutes rewind. It's almost impossible to not only go back a few seconds, but to stay on the same song when barely dragging the thumb.

The simplest approach might be a customizable rewind button on the player. Another solution could be a precise seek bar —like the YouTube app does on longer videos— where, when dragging and holding, a zoomed sleek bar would let us move by the second. The last one seems like a good amount of work, so a rewind button would be just fine, I was just giving ideas.

This seems like a good feature to go with #260.

Unfortunately, as it's not planned in the near future, I think it would be best for you to listen to longer videos using newpipe

I can see the connection, but not really related.

I guess you are talking about how podcasts are not planned rn, but again, not related at all. This is merely a new button, there's even no need to rethink the UI for the addition of new buttons, devs could just use those already present like the next/previous song ones and activate the rewind on long press.

The podcast thing is a whole different story.

@OutshineIssue Great idea, I'll come up with something.

@25huizengek1 Thanks, and also please don't forget about the media controls, it'll be really useful to rewind/fast forward from there too.
