Video Progress Bar Color
video-progress-bar-color
Sets the color of the burned-in progress bar indicator.
video-progress-bar-color accepts a hex color value in RRGGBB or RRGGBBAA format. The default is FF0000 (red).
| Format | Example | Effect |
|---|---|---|
RRGGBB | FF0000 | Opaque red (default) |
RRGGBB | FFFFFF | Opaque white |
RRGGBB | 0000FF | Opaque blue |
RRGGBBAA | FFFFFF80 | Semi-transparent white (50% opacity) |
8-digit RRGGBBAA values add an alpha channel, blending the bar over the video rather than painting it opaque — useful for a subtle indicator that lets the video show through.
A bad color value keeps the default (FF0000) with a warning rather than failing the request.
HDR sources. On HDR-preserve output the hex value is written straight into the HDR signal without a primaries or transfer conversion, so a value like
FF0000reads a little dimmer or hue-shifted compared to the same hex on SDR output. Nudge the color brighter if you need an exact on-screen match.
