With the built-in video player in Kodi 17 Krypton (Windows OS), whenever I press pause on my remote control (sends <SPACE>), a progress bar OSD overlay appears, and it does not go away automatically (I think I remember that it used to go away after a few seconds with the old player, but I could be wrong about that).
Is there any way for me to dismiss the progress bar OSD while the video remains paused? I have tried <ESC>, <I>, <M>, <BACKSPACE>, <ENTER> but none of those do the trick.
I just want to see a paused full-screen frame without any OSD overlay.
