Research direction
Start by locating the video player and seek-bar entry points in the React + Redux frontend, then review how seeking and hover interactions currently work. Define which preview presentation to implement from the alternatives in the issue, and consider the work done when users can visually inspect the video at hovered seek-bar positions without repeated buffering waits.
