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. Roku provided different Progress Bar or We have required to set it custom? Does Anyone know How to Set a Custom Progress bar like the above?

  • Bump. Any luck? I'd also like help to really mod the progress bar but all I found were the SGDEX theme fields which can modify the look to a limited extent- no fields for adjusting height/ adding a custom current playback time indicator

      YouTube uses NDK, most developers do not have access to this.

      official customizing of the default player is limited to color and bitmap changes. 

      https://developer.roku.com/en-gb/docs/references/scenegraph/media-playback-nodes/video.md

      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 😕
