Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, when previewing a media file (audio*/video) there's not 'remaining time left' to be seen on the right bottom of the window.

  • It looks like the audio currently has the estimate time left in the center (see the screenshot below), but the played videos don't.

Describe the solution you'd like
There could be a estimate time left like this: 0:26 / 3:47

Please see the screenshots below:

Describe alternatives you've considered
For now, that's it. Nothing else to be done.

Additional context
I've taken that screenshot with the other player, MPC-HC, so, even though it's heavyweight, the idea of previewing would be for scenarios you wouldn't have it, VLC, JetAudio, or anything like that installed.

Thanks!
