How to pass the current video timestamp to the inner overlay widget?

[saurabhchalke]

Hi, I really appreciate this player.
I have a use case where I try to draw overlay animations on top of the video based on the current timestamp.
I wanted to know:

1. How to get the current timestamp for the frame on screen?
2. How to pass the timestamp to the inner overlay widget defined in the configuration or is there a way the inner widget can keep streaming the value of the current timestamp?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for using BP.

1. betterPlayerController.videoPlayerController.value.duration
2. Use InheritedWidget or pass BetterPlayerController instance to inner widget.
