Feature Description

In the official YouTube app, or on the website, you can tap on the time in
the bottom-left of a video to change it from showing the time elapsed...

0:30 / 1:00:00

...to instead show the time-remaining left to watch:

-59:30 / 1:00:00

It would be great if PipePipe could offer this same feature.


There are two related suggestions I'd make:

First, it would be great to have an option to decide how this is displayed:

-59:30 / 1:00:00 = show time remaining / total duration (like YouTube)

0:30 / -59:30 = show time elapsed / time remaining (like some media-player apps)

And it would be even-cooler if the remaining time were to account for the playback-speed, for example:

-59:30 / 1:00:00 when at 1x speed

-39:40 / 0:40:00 when at 1.5x speed

-29:45 / 0:30:00 when at 2x speed

I'd much when speeding-up a video to see how-long actually remains in real-time when watching at that speed.

(Obviously when dragging the scrub-bar, the real time should then always be used in the round time overlay, so people can still find a time-code / time-stamp in the video they may want to jump to.)
