Problem description

Hello !
Right now, the UI appears every time you do something, such as pausing or rewinding, etc.

Proposed solution

It would be great to have the option to make the UI less intrusive during playback, similar to MPC-HC or MPV on PC.

For example, with this option on, the UI would only appear when we press the down arrow.

This would allow us to go back if we miss a subtitle, with just one press of the left arrow. The video would rewind 5 seconds and start to play right away without any UI showing.

Or, If you like to pause frequently to take a closer look at what's happening on screen like me, one press on the middle button, the video pause, press again to play. No user interface during the process.

Alternatives considered
