Description

Describe your suggested feature

Problem

When the video player is locked to prevent accidental touches, there is currently no way to check the video's current playback position or total time without unlocking the player first.

Solution

Show a read-only progress bar and time indicator when tapping the screen in lock mode. It should disappear automatically after a brief delay (or along with the unlock button overlay) while keeping all control touches disabled.

Research direction

Start by locating the Android video player's lock-mode UI and reproducing the behavior described when the screen is tapped while locked. Done means a read-only progress bar and time indicator appear briefly, control touches remain disabled, and the overlay disappears automatically.
