Live TV/DVR Progress Bar - Android TV

Is it possible to modify the progress bar so that it shows when I started watching/tuned-in instead of the beginning of the show? For example, when I tune to a channel the bar is solid green to the beginning of the time slot even if I started 15min into the show. In the current display I can't tell where my buffer begins.

 

The browser based progress bar for Live TV starts from the beginning of the buffer. This also matches most set-top box DVRs. Can Exoplayer do the same?

Is no one interested in this request? Anyone?

 

Maybe a visual example would help. It's a minor cosmetic change though technically it might be difficult, I don't know.

 

The current progress bar (Exoplayer?) doesn't show where the playback and buffer begin. It goes to the beginning of the program.

The feature request has the bar indicating where the playback/buffer begin.

It is already how the browser based player and most set-top DVRs display the progress bar. So it's a familiar visual cue.

We would have to create a custom progress element as the one we're using won't support that type of display.

 

Monitoring for interest from others.
