Progress Bar Panel

The progress bar is similar to the information shown underneath the live confidence display in the Player Control panel. The bar shows the clip or filename and current playback location. The current playback position is at the left of the progress bar. The total clip length is on the right when a clip is selected and its length is known. If the playback is a network stream, the total length is not likely known and the total time is blank. If the current selection is part of playlist, or channel list, the channel number and name (if any) is at the upper right corner (Ch 2 in figure 28).

The progress bar tracks the current playback position across the bar. Blue indicates the file and gray indicates buffer fill.

Enable Progress Bar — Click this checkbox to enable or disable the progress bar.

Duration — Use the adjustment arrows or enter the time directly in the duration field to set the time (in seconds) the progress bar is displayed. Default is 5 seconds, maximum is 500 seconds. 501 indicates the progress bar is always on. The IR remote can toggle it on or off.

Position — Using the dropdown list, select the screen position of the OSD from one of nine positions: lefttop (default), center-top, right-top, left-center, center-center, right-center, left-bottom, centerbottom, and rightbottom.
