Feature description

It would be great if, during seeking, the label showing the remaining time took the SeekOffset into account, just like Elapsed Time does.

Current Behavior:

• Before seeking:
  Elapsed time: 1h / Remaining time: 2h

• During seeking (during Kodi's Skip Delay), with SeekOffset = 3min 30sec:
  Elapsed time: 1h 3m 30sec / Remaining time: 2h

• After seeking:
  Elapsed time: 1h 3m 30sec / Remaining time: 1h 56min 30sec

Proposed Behavior:

During seeking = After seeking

• During seeking (during Kodi's Skip Delay), with SeekOffset = 3min 30sec:
  Elapsed time: 1h 3m 30sec / Remaining time: 1h 56min 30sec

The current behavior is consistent with the standard Kodi skin, so I'm submitting this as a Feature Request rather than a bug report.

Why is this feature needed? Please justify and explain.

Such a feature would unify the behavior of Elapsed and Remaining Time and, in my opinion, improve the seeking experience - making it easier to seek to the desired moment.

I don't think this is possible to achieve skin side. Skins can't do any maths or calculations. It would need to be requested to be added to kodi.

I do agree though - it does seem strange that elapsed takes the offset into account while seeking, but remaining doesnt.
