Auto updating progress bar

[Ashesh3]

The current progress bar looks really neat, but it would be more helpful to update the progress bar in real time (or every x seconds). This can be achieved by keeping track of the "latest" now playing embed (only the latest one would be enough too ) and editing it every x seconds to reflect the current progress of the song.

It seems to be a cool idea but is this developer even sees the issues and working for the fixes?

@GokulSamraj I am tracking issues and people are free to report bugs and issues they find.

However, I only work on this project as a hobby, and the past months I've been busy with my thesis.

You are free to submit a PR if you want to fix issues faster. Otherwise, feel free to use another bot.

While this is a cool idea, you may reconsider this before implementing. As if you constantly keep updating the message, you may hit a rate limit.

Pretty sure discord.js handles ratelimits and if needed you can debounce the update by few seconds. If you wanna make this look cooler, spice it up with synced lyrics. Synced lyrics provider ticks every second internally but it would not fire every second (tbh it depends on the song)

This will most likely not be implemented, but feel free to fork and create your own functionality around this if you need it.
