Buffer indicator has disappeared???

[troyhough 61]

I noticed a while back that the buffer status has disappeared when playing content back in the web player. I can't comment on Android app since I quit using it.

 

Do you know why this has happened and/or plan on fixing it? I like to be able to see what kind of buffer has been established occasionally which can tell me if the Wifi/LTE connection is iffy.

 

Thanks

It's still there, but in Chrome 79 beta I notice the chrome video player is not buffering as much as it used to. I had to seek around a bit to even get this to show up:

 

Microsoft recently contributed code to Chromium related to buffering to make it more battery efficient. I'm guessing it's probably not buffering as much as it used to.

I noticed it's been missing for quite a while just kept forgetting to post about it.
