Hi
i read about idea:

"would be nice if this information could be added to skins, maybe as an additional progress bar plus the values"

I think second progress bar make only less clear screen (more information in 2 places to focus and read :/ ) better will be use 1 progress bar

This is my idea

use second - other color for mark timeshift buffor
i know the pernament Timeshift work in loop (example buffor 2GB)

so marked in other color progress bar could be move

Image

I think this is perfect solution
over this marked area (timeshift buffor) user will be could move - rewind, forward etc.

There is already support for two colors in one progress bar, it is used for buffered videos (e.g. Youtube clips). I think it would make more sense though if the dark grey part (the part that shows how much is buffered in Youtube videos) would indicate how far the current program has actually run and the bright part indicates where you are right now. So if you press pause will watching live TV, the dark grey area will continue to progress while the brighter part stays fixed.

+1 I was hoping that the 1.9.0 API would provide this new functionality.

The functionality is there AFAIK, it's the skins and addons that need updating.
