Most of the time, when I want to use a video player, I need to "scrub" through the video's visual frames to either find some particular scene, or to review a particular frame.

Currently (as of version 0.5.2), both in paused and playback mode, seeking only happens when you release the mouse button from a drag (or click) on the time slider.

Like other video players, it should

  • Allow scrubbing through (async / without lag) by click-and-dragging the time slider, from any point in the slider's widget
    (not just by dragging the handle).
  • Avoid interference from playback:
    • auto-pause during drag and auto-resume from the new position on drag release (if the video was already playing before scrubbing).
    • as long as the mousedown button state is held, do not allow playback to override the current position. If the mouse stops moving, the image should stay still.

Bonus points if you can consistently show a popover with the playhead's timecode (and chapter name, if available) directly above the mouse cursor while hovering (and dragging) the time slider, like what Celluloid does. See issue #398.
