### Player Controls
Once a video is playing, the page has a full control bar under it:
* Play and pause with the button, by clicking the video, or with the space bar.
* Skip back and forward ten seconds with the `«10` and `10»` buttons.
* Drag the seek bar to jump anywhere. The filled part shows how far along you are.
* Hover over the seek bar and a small picture of that moment pops up, so you can
find the spot you want before you let go.
* A volume slider on the right.
The bar wraps and the whole player scales down so it still works on small screens
and phones.
The hover previews come from a light preview sprite. The server builds it once per
video the first time you hover, in a single quick ffmpeg pass, and keeps it in
memory so nothing is written to disk. If you already have your own sprite, point
the `/scrub` route at it instead.
Hover previews are on by default. If you would rather not build them at all, start
the server with `--no-thumbnails` and the rest of the player keeps working.
Hover previews are built once per video on first hover and kept in memory. Start with
```bash
--no-thumbnails
```

To use your own prebuilt sprite, point the /scrub route at it.

If you prefer to bypass the web interface, you can render the video directly inside an ANSI-supported terminal (zero-flicker, true color):
