Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
At the moment if I am for example the end of an episode of an anime and I fast forward the video to the end part and the osd bar is still visible when it ends and goes to the next file in the playlist that one will remain visible briefly even at the beginning of the next file, the same would happen if for some reason the osd bar was visible on the screen and I switched from one file another with > or <, what I would like is an option to have it hide right away when switching from one file to another in a playlist. I don't want to turn it off completely, I would just like a way to have it automatically remove it when I switch from one file to another in a playlist, if I do that for example by sending the video forward until I have it finish and start the next one that bar will remain visible for a short while and I find it annoying
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
Add some option for mpv.conf to have this behavior

Research direction
Start by tracing how playlist transitions occur when moving to the previous or next file, and how the OSD bar is shown and dismissed. Review mpv.conf option handling to determine where this behavior could be configured; done means the bar hides immediately on file changes without disabling it during normal playback.
