how to prevent 'time played' from moving alongside playhead on seek bar in emby theater?

[icegoddess222 8]

hi i recently was having various issues with my emby server and reformatted the pc and reinstalled everything.

ive noticed that within emby theater, the time on the seek bar now moves underneath the play head and was wondering how to disable it?

previously the time would just stay on the left side so i would like to set it back to that.

additionally when the play head gets close to the end of the playing contents runtime, it gets hard to read as the time played and time remaining start mashing together until the time remaining no longer displays which is kind of annoying because i cant tell him much longer is in an episode before i can skip the outro

 

im on emby theater 3.0.20 and server 4.8.11.0

my other computers emby theater is now behaving similarly. is there an option to revert this change somewhere?

Hi, if we can resolve this, will that resolve your issue?

i would prefer an option to keep the 'time played' in a static and consistent position where it doesnt follow the playhead, similar to how it behaved previously and how it currently behaves on the mobile, web, and windows app 

so while making it that the 'time played' does not remove the 'time remaining' wouldn't completely resolve the issue, it would make the issue more bearable

yea like today (i have my rewind and forward intervals set to -10 seconds and +30 seconds) i was trying to watch something today and i wasnt sure if there was a post credit scene and wanted to skip ahead but wasnt sure how much longer was left in the episode and didnt want to hit +30 to skip ahead because i wasnt sure if there was more or less than 30 seconds left in the episode and didnt want to risk accidentally going to the next episode

any way we can get an option for this to revert it to have a static play time?
