Ive used mediaplayback component on a webpage and it works fine except the playhead pointy thing doesnt move as the video plays. Isnt it supposed to do that ? It just stays at the start while the video is actually playing.

If i drag the pointer to a different part of the streaming bar then it does what its supposed to do but that doesnt look right.

Any help plz ?
