Description

I tried to make OSD progress bar stay on all the time with toggling OSD using O key, but I didn't figure out a way to do it. Is it possible?

Using something like mpv --osd-bar <media> and then pressing O to toggle OSD didn't do it.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the --osd-bar option is handled and how pressing O toggles the OSD. Determine where the progress-bar visibility is coupled to OSD visibility, then define the behavior so the bar remains on while toggling OSD and verify it with the command shown in the issue.
