[FEA] - Display seek bar when using dpad left/right #179

Closed devstash closed 5 months ago

devstash commented 6 months ago

Description

I think it would improve usability when skipping with the dpad would display the seek bar with the preview image. - At the moment I have to up twice to reach the seek bar with the preview, while I can also use the :rewind: or :fast_forward: button to simply seek.

Thanks for the feedback!

Not all remotes have media control buttons for rewind/fast forward, so allowing for the left/right to also do those actions is consistent with Android TV's recommendations.

Also, you can disable the left/right D-Pad rewind/fast forward in settings if you want.

I've found that some apps, like Kodi, do display the seek bar with left/right D-Pad buttons. But others, like Plex, do not. I use Plex much more than Kodi, so I went with Plex's UX. It could be a setting I guess.

Side note, I really like Kodi's "stepped" seek where each press increases the amount to seek by (10s, then 30s, then 60s, then 3m, etc). I think I would like to implement this as an option eventually.

@devstash #211 will change the left/right behavior when D-Pad skipping is disabled which should cover your suggestion!

It'll be in v0.2.0 which I plan to release later today.
