Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am unable to precicely skip/seek to the position I want using the chapter progress bar. Currently I can press a location on the progress bar and the player will skip/seek to it, but the accuracy is not great and around the edges of the screen its even harder.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to press and drag the progress slider bar to precicely seek to the exact second, then release to actually seek, similar to the Audible app.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It is possible to roughly seek to where you want and then skip forward/back 10s using the buttons, but for chapters that are very long (i.e. 1.5hrs) this can mean spamming the skip buttons 20+ times.

Additional context

The Audible app has a good solution and is a good reference.

Feedback

Just discovered this last weekend and have been testing it out. I really like it and so far its the best solution I have found!

Added in v0.9.47-beta

I haven't checked how Audible did it. I'm sure there is a better way to make it more precise in the future
