Request: video length without starting playback

[woj-tek]

Would it be possible to display video length without starting playback?

Simple fix:

diff --git a/assets/css/default.css b/assets/css/default.css
index c527cbc..3644f6c 100644
--- a/assets/css/default.css
+++ b/assets/css/default.css
@@ -328,7 +328,7 @@ input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-cancel-button {
   width: 50px;
 }

-.vjs-control-bar {
+.video-js .vjs-control-bar {
   display: flex;
   flex-direction: row;
 }

This however shows the full control bar even before the video has started playing. This might be undesired for the same reason as #661.

@omarroth would you be willing to accept a patch which adds a new configuration option (don't cover video poster) that combines #661 and the change mentioned above? imo, the option should be unchecked by default.

Would it make sense to implement it as a Player style preference with default/Invidious and YouTube?

Added with #680.
