How to Set Custom Progress Bar in Roku?
I refer to this example to set Custom Progress Bar creating like youtube. But I don't know how to set in Roku. In the above Example used trickPlayBarVisibilityHint is be default provided By Roku...

YouTube uses NDK, most developers do not have access to this.
official customizing of the default player is limited to color and bitmap changes.

see UI Fileds -> trickplaybar
More can be done if you walk through the video player UI node and find each element, but I don't know if it can be guaranteed that the elements will be consistently be where you find them. Roku could make a changes that could break at any time with a future update.
You could build a custom video player UI but that would be a very involved project.
Thanks for the reply and confirming my suspicions- spent all of yesterday scouring the docs to no avail. I've already maxed out the customizability with the trickplay/buffering bar field customization it seems 😕
Sorry not true ... you can customize it just like the youtube not have it break... its just a matter of selecting the correct fields, observing them and updating the right areas.
Ill have something up for you shortly.
That would be amazing! I'd love to hear how to do it! Looking forward to your post 🙂
Did you find any clues about the matter (how to customize trickplaybar)?
I also want to customize somehow my player, as the Youtube channel does and, as always, there is no useful examples from Roku about it.
Thanks
I'd also be interested to know if anyone's managed this with a BS/SG app.
I had a good go a few years ago, almost managed it but was never able to reproduce the native behaviour of the * button to bring up caption/audio options - and that's a cert requirement.
