I was thrilled to see "persistantprogress" finally land in mpv! especially after I put up a suggestion for it in another (dead?) repository. Anyway, thanks for implementing it.

Having trouble getting it to display consistently though. It only appears while the OSC is visible. Any solutions or potential workarounds?

This is what I get:

"when OSC is visible" (green arrow indicating what shows with "persistantprogress = true")

"when OSC is NOT visible"
