Allow to get the current playback time programmatically

[FilippoVigani]

It would be nice to be able to get the current playback time directly from the player, instead of needing to subscribe to playback time changes and updating a "support" variable every time.

This is useful for implementing methods like skip(seconds: Float) where you need the current time of the player and call seek to seek to the desired point.

This would basically mean bridging the player.getCurrentTime() function from the js implementation.

Hi, you can use YouTubePlayerTracker for doing that. Let me know if it helps.

[FilippoVigani]

YoutubePlayerTracker somewhat does what I asked, although I'd consider implementing it by default inside the player itself. Closing for now.

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

I'd rather not add noise to the API of the player. If a getter is added for the current time it would end up being added for every other property of the player. YouTubePlayerTracker keeps things clean.

YouTubePlayerTracker returns incorrect time in case of seek paused video.

Hi, what do you mean? I think you should open a separate issue for this.
