Show amount of buffered video on the progress bar

[SuperPrower]

Describe the feature you'd like
I stream over somewhat slow connection, so I would like to have some media buffered in advance. As I understand, this already occurs. However, unlike Jellyfin Web, in the standard player, I don't see how much time was buffered/preloaded/precached on the progress/playback bar.

Additional context
Here's how it currently looks in Jellyfin Web:

Unless something is wrong with my client (version 2.4.4. from Google Play, but I don't mind installing experimental builds), I don't believe that this is visually present in the current standard player (video player type -> web player) in the android version.

@SuperPrower I checked the latest version (2.4.4) and it seems to be working fine. Let me know if I misunderstood something.

@susonthapa thanks for your reply. I double checked, and it doesn't seem to be working in the Web Player (the one, I think, you have in your screen capture):

It seems to be working in the ExoPlayer-based player - I quickly see buffer after pause, so this isn't an issue with connection, and the feature itself seems to be working. Maybe this is some kind of visual bug with the player? My device is Pixel 5, latest OS/updates.

@SuperPrower Looking at the attached video and the color of the progress bar it looks like it is already buffered which really doesn't make sense for a video that long. I think the buffering might be broken in this case. The standard player is just the Jellyfin Web UI loaded in a WebView(you can think of it as an embedded browser). The WebView is tied to the OS and can cause some weird issues like this one. Either way, I don't think we can do anything here as the UI that gets rendered(Jellyfin-web) and the component that renders the UI (WebView) are out of our control.

@SuperPrower Feel free to close this issue.

Feel free to close this issue.

If a developer would help me fill a bug in appropriate repository, then sure, because that's a basic feature, imo, and I wouldn't want to leave this issue without a report.

It could be related to then played media that the buffering indicator is sometimes visible, sometimes not.

@Maxr1998 that might also be the case. I will try to test it on my device and see if I can replicate this. @SuperPrower It would be really helpful if you can replicate this in other devices as well if you have access to it.
