[MediaPlayer] show tooltip with current time position (easy)

[diver]

This is hrev44133, gcc2hybrid.

Moving mouse cursor over timeline in MediaPlayer should show tooltip with time position. Maybe even thumbnails like in youtube?

Adds tooltip while scrubbing around on a track

My only concern with the patch that I attached is that it is noticeably laggy. Does anyone have some pointers for how to make the tooltip not flicker?

Thanks for the patch! I think one possible solution would be to add a method like BToolTipManager::MoveTip which just mimics the BToolTipManager::ShowTip method but use the BPoint passed as argument with BWindow::MoveTo instead to Show() it.

Fixed in hrev49971 with a reworked patch. Thanks!

Actually, what I wanted with this ticket is to show current time position like it's done on youtube.

The tooltip that appears while you are moving the mouse the time slider currently shows the current playing time. This is not useful, instead it should show the playing time corresponding to where the mouse is.

Later on the idea is to maybe also add a preview of a videoframe from that time to the tooltip, like Youtube does when you put your mouse over their time slider. So you can easily find the place where you want to go in a video.
