Totem could hide the time bar when streaming internet radio

[Thomas Perl]

Binary package hint: totem

This is just a wishlist item: Totem could hide the "Time:" progressbar when streaming media from the internet (like internet radio) where the duration is unknown. Alternatively, the space could be used for something like a buffer fill display (how much % of the buffer is filled currently. This would forecast a buffer underrun visually.

This needs to be forwarded upstream by someone interested on the feature, for forwarding instructions please have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME; leaving this as incomplete until that, thanks in advance.

Thanks, I've filed and linked the Gnome bug.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks you, marking as triaged.

I second. However, the UI changes, if we remove a whole element. I suggest that the "bar background" was visible, but the "handle" was removed. This way the UI location wouldn't change, and the unscrollability (is that a word?) would be at least a bit more obvious.

Year and a half and no news yet?
