Playbar remains visible in fullscreen and overlaps with subtitles

Describe the bug

When watching content in fullscreen mode, the playbar (playback controls) does not disappear automatically after it has been toggled by a mouse movement. Once it reappears, it stays on the screen indefinitely, overlapping with subtitles and distracting from the viewing experience.

To Reproduce

1. Open Stremio and start playing any video.

2. Enter fullscreen mode.

3. Move the mouse to bring up the playbar.

4. Stop moving the mouse and wait for the playbar to hide.

5. Notice that the playbar stays visible and never disappears again.

Expected behavior

The playbar should automatically hide after a few seconds of mouse inactivity, especially in fullscreen mode, to ensure subtitles are clearly visible.

do you put the mouse pointer on the bottom of the screen? put it above the progress bar, i cant see where pointer is in the video

[spidychoipro]

I press f button to goto full screen and moved the cursor to the bottom and it works like the video ive shown

[CDrosos]

yes, as i said i dont think this is a bug, you should put the pointer to anywhere else except below the progress bar and it should work, you put the pointer where control buttons are

Yes exactly if your cursor is on the control bar it won't hide put it in the center of the video

oh putting on the bottom didn't work but putting on the right side did work thanks

[CDrosos]

Also you dont have to put it on sides. Leave it on the middle of the screen and it will auto hide

[spidychoipro]

Puttin on top and button didn't work it didn't work like youtube but it works thanks
