vlc-media-player
the bottom right of the VLC media player shows the length of the video left. Is it possible to have the player show the length of a whole video?
there is a workaround for this step backward and then forward, the player would show the time on the screen, but it is boring. any ideas?
You need to bind your keys in VLC media player. Other answers were right on this, but they were missing a couple of details which I am pointing out here.
The easiest way to get the URL of the video to paste into VLC that I found was in Firefox.
Go to the video using FF. Right click -> Page Info. Go to the Media tab and find the video URL. The type will be Video, and the URL should be av.vimeo.com/foobar. Right click -> Copy the URL. Paste into VLC and off you go

I believe this is set by default, but you can go into the
Tools-->Customise Interfacemenu to change what "widgets" are shown on the time bar.I believe the
Total/Remaining Timewidget is what you're looking for. Just drag it from the list at the bottom onto the toolbar in the location you want it to go. The interface is like dragging and dropping bookmarks on the Chrome/Firefox bookmarks bar.
