Description

The large play button used in the updated MaterialControls is covering large part of the video when player is used in a list view widget.

Please add an option to disable/hide this "play" button or give an option to extend/overwrite MaterialControls class to customize controls UI. E.g. make _buildHitArea() non-private, or move CenterPlayButton creation into a separate non-private method.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the MaterialControls class in chewie, specifically the buildHitArea method and CenterPlayButton creation. Consider making them non private to allow customization or adding a boolean option to hide the play button.
