video player displays a timer/seek tracker on screen during playback

hi, just dl’d and installed latest kodi version (17.0 beta 6) and now when i play a video (movie or tv file) i get a timer or seek-like time coubnter on the bottom of the screen, as well as the clock in the upper right corner. i’ve gone through all the settings and tinkered with the ones that seem relevent but the thing still displays. is there a way to disable this that i’ve missed? hope so since it is annoying. any help would be appreciated. thanks
