Research direction

Start by locating the extension’s YouTube player UI and the logic that displays elapsed and total playback time. Add an option for remaining-time display, then manually test a video to confirm the value updates during playback and the chosen display mode appears correctly.

Feature Request

Description

Add an option to display the remaining time of a YouTube video during playback (not just total duration and elapsed time). This avoids needing to mentally subtract current position from total length.

Preferred behavior
  • Show remaining time (e.g., "-5:32") next to or instead of the elapsed time
  • Updates in real-time during playback
  • Optional: customizable position in the player UI
