LGTM.
Why was that even implemented in the first place?

[SameenAhnaf]

As shown in the screen recording, there should be a white part on seek bar to show how much the video has been played. This is also helpful if the user wants to return to previous point of the video easily.

@SameenAhnaf Do you believe that implementing this feature is still in scope of this ticket. IMO this is worth opening another issue for.

[opusforlife2]

Yep. A separate PR for this would be better.

[AudricV]

@SameenAhnaf The white part is the part which has been buffered by the player and like already said, your request is out of the scope of this PR.
