I was testing RC2 and noticed the time/progress bar is not like those in My Videos. Instead of displaying the Current (on Left) and Remaining (on Right) and a graphic showing the progress, it displays Total Time on the right. This is different than we'd had under previous releases (MP 1.0.2) and seems odd when playing Recorded TV. Perhaps there's value for this type of indicator if you're actively timeshifting.

Can someone confirm this and evaluate? Thanks!

Thought I'd follow up with some pics... We usually do not see the Red slider bar (and the tick marks) unless it's a time-shifted (during LIVE-TV) show. The norm has been to use the simpler Green slider and Time REMAINING on the right end for playback recorded TV, a video or a movie file as I've shown in the attachments.
