💡Display watched sections of the video on the seek bar #4261

Description

@Arco-san

⚬ PROBLEM:

When watching long videos, it’s easy to lose track of which sections you’ve already watched—especially with live streams or videos where key points are scattered across specific timestamps.

⚬ SOLUTION:

Enable users to view the history of watched segments within the video—for example, by changing the color of the corresponding sections on the player's seek bar.

⚬ ALTERNATIVES:

Timestamped bookmarks can serve a similar purpose; however, if there is no need to manually save or share specific segments—or if the goal is simply to track viewing history—modifying the seek bar display offers a more intuitive approach.

⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE:

I’m not sure, but it would likely be useful for users who watch a lot of long, minimally edited videos.

⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS":

Some users might dislike the seek bar looking cluttered.

⚬ CONTEXT:
