# UX enhancements for a chromeless UI on iOS and tvOS

A functional player still needs clear feedback and convenient interactions. Plan these experiences alongside the core playback controls:

1. **Loading spinner:** Indicate when the player is waiting for video data.
2. **Poster:** Show an image before initial playback and after the video ends.
3. **Up next:** Offer the next stream near the end of playback and optionally start it automatically.
4. **Skip intro:** Let viewers skip the current introduction.
5. **Ad countdown:** Display the remaining duration of an ad break.
6. **Ad markers:** Indicate ad-break positions on the scrub bar.

Drive each enhancement from Player events and state. Start with [tracking player states](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-873/theoplayer/how-to-guides/ios/player/track-player-states.md), then account for application lifecycle and presentation-mode transitions.
