<media-time-range>

The <media-time-range> component is used to indicate the current time position in the timeline of the media, and provides controls to seek to a new time in the media.

Hovering over the time range will show a preview time code by default, and if a track with a thumbnails VTT file is configured a preview thumbnail will be shown.

Preview thumbnails

Adding a metadata text track labelled “thumbnails” (<track default label="thumbnails" kind="metadata" src="">) with a valid VTT file as src will enable the preview thumbnails on hover functionality.

Styling

Using CSS variables

The <media-time-range> consists of several elements including an <input type="range"> element which can be tricky to style across browsers but the <media-time-range> component comes with targeted CSS variables that make this a breeze.

    --media-control-background: transparent;
    --media-control-hover-background: transparent;
