When a video/audio file is playing and set to “Play Once”, you can see the remaining time:

When it is set to “Loop,” you can not see how much time is remaining, which can be helpful to reference. It could say “Loop” with the time remaining below.

Hi @scottw Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, the time isn’t shown as it is “unknown” when the video is set to loop because it shows the timer for the layer not the video. But your suggestion makes total sense. I will add it to the list of future features.
