Display elapsed time

[Pereira]

Older versions of VLC would display the elapsed time of a video as well as the total play time, while the current version only displays the remaining time.

For example, in a 2h movie, you can only know that you're at "15m40s" because you are given that information that the remaining time is "-1h44m20s".

This may seem like a detail, but it's actually quite hindering when you work in audiovisuals, namely translating or subtitling. It makes it a real pain to know the exact second you're at, since you must constantly do math, not to mention the time lost in the process and the frustration.

Therefore, I was wondering if there is any option that can make this information visible, or if it could by any chance be implemented in future versions. It's such a simple thing to put the time near the play bar, yet so crucial.

Touch the displayed time to switch between elapsed and remaining time.

Oh, so simple, but would never figure that out. ^^

Thanks for answering and cheers for the awesome player that is VLC.
