[estuary] - show buffering progress in video full screen

[aleksrozman]

The current estuary skin just has a rotating icon, with no indication how bad the streaming source is when it comes to filling the buffer. Suggesting to restore the progress indicator (using the volume progress images for now) and add a label so it is clear that the source is either buffering slow or fast. Grey font color may need tweaking, it could blend with the video but at least the progress bar will be enough.

This is a replacement to PR #10322 incorporating the changes recommended by @BigNoid using estuary branch instead of my master.

Screenshot of worst case:

Thanks. I think it will be better readable if both text and progress circle have the theme color. Thats the button_focus color. Could you try that?

[aleksrozman]

Attached is a screenshot with the change recommended (also switched to lato-bold)

[BigNoid]

Yeah much better, thx. One final comment, if you look at the screenshot and don't know the percentage, it looks like its 25% caching to me. If you switch the colors on the progress circle it might be clearer.

[aleksrozman]

It uses the volume bar progress png's and rotates clockwise (so the behavior is the same as volume).

I experimented with the alternative and it looked worse. I found an easy solution that looks good and doesnt require making a new set of images and running it through the texturepacker. The first image below is what I just delivered, the second is your recommendation. Let me know if you prefer the second, I can deliver that instead.

[BigNoid]

if you remove the fade animation you'd have what I meant. The blue progress from the first screenshot with a white circle underneath like in the second screenshot.

[aleksrozman]

I get it, I thought you wanted to swap colors. Removing the fade effect is easy, I'll back out my last change and remove the fade.

Result will look like below:

[BigNoid]

I meant also to swap colors, so just the other way around and its good to go.

[aleksrozman]

Change made. Added the fade back (white was too bright).

Here's a preview:

[aleksrozman]

When I tried it on my TV instead of the monitor, using real sources, the TV contrast ratio made it more apparent that the fade effect was interfering with certain video stills. I tried it removed (except for the initial white circle that appears at buffer=0) and the result seemed more in line with the estuary theme.

[BigNoid]

Looks good to me

@stealthflyer could you please squash all the commits into one and force push the changes to your branch?

[aleksrozman]

Could you grant me write access to the repository? I could leverage github to do the squash and merge using the tutorial here: https://github.com/blog/2141-squash-your-commits

This would keep the history on my branch while maintaining the cleanliness on the main branch. Otherwise I presume you are suggesting a rebase and a force commit.

[MartijnKaijser]

@stealthflyer sorry we don't give access. You need squash the commits in this current branch and force push to the same branch in your repo. We don't need history as all this is a single change.

Edit:
You'll need to do some git commandline for this

[fritsch]

git branch my_old_history
git rebase -i HEAD~5
squash all of them
git push -f yourorigin your branch

After that your whole history will still be in my_old_history branch

Squashed.

@fritsch thanks for the suggestion, I didn't branch since the history is logged in this PR and its a very simple change anyways.

[fritsch]

Now only the force push is missing :-)

[fritsch]

Err looks okay - @martijn: final review? All fine in his squash or
something missing?
