Below is a design we've been considering to handle these issue. By default, the user is in a visually marked "live" mode - the box on the right of the timeline. As the user watches the live video, the timeline to the left of live fills up with how much video is buffered. So, after one minute the timeline represents one minute in length, and after two minutes it represents two. To give an indication of how much time the bar represents, tick marks marking minutes will scroll left as the video plays. | Below is a design we've been considering to handle these issue.

Clicking the live mode button more moving the slider back to the live point (which will "snap") put the video back in live mode. | ||

Once the slider has moved back 10 minutes, the new video is no longer buffered: only the ten minutes immediately after the pause is stored. This is so that when the user returns, the video will play from the point they left off and not the somewhat arbitrary 10 minutes before the live video. At this point, the buffered 10 minutes and the live point are no longer connected - a visual indication such as a break of the timeline will indicate this. | |||
