Shows how the Media Player widget looks when tuned into a stream
SUMMARY
The media player widget shows an invalid length for the stream as a really high
number. Furthermore, the seek position shown is misleading, since it's showing
the time from when you started watching the stream. The UI indicates the stream
is running on an absolute position and length, like with an audio file, when it
can't. As a result I feel the UI needs to be tweaked for streams.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Tune into any Twitch stream (Ex. www.twitch.tv/type2play) via web browser
with audio on.
2. Open up the Media Player Widget.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Media Player widget shows a placeholder image of the stream with a really
high number as the duration. Trying to seek does nothing. The only relevant
information is the pause/play button and the stream information.
EXPECTED RESULT
A more appropriate UI for streams. Currently the pause/play button works, but
the rest shown there doesn't make much from a UI perspective. The seek position
can't be accurate for a stream and it can't be used to adjust the position of
the stream. Likewise with the duration being unavailable, so I propose removing
the whole playback bar during streams.
