Research direction
The user requests hiding the progress bar when playing a livestream and showing 'live' text instead. To implement, examine plyr's control rendering logic, likely in `src/js/controls.js` or similar. Look for how the progress bar is conditionally displayed (e.g., based on `this.duration === Infinity`). Add a check for livestreams to hide the progress bar and show a 'LIVE' indicator. Ensure it respects existing configurations and considers accessibility.
