<input type="range" id="seek"> (web/index.html:65) has no label, aria-label or title; the volume slider beside it has title="Volume". A screen reader announces "slider, 0", with no idea what it controls. Its value is 0-1000, not a time, so even the value means nothing when read out.

Found in an interface review (2026-10-19), in Playwright's accessibility snapshot of the player: slider: "0". WCAG 4.1.2.

Fix: aria-label="Position", and set aria-valuetext to the clock text (12:30 of 45:00) as the position updates.

Fixed in 6ec2c35: the seek slider is named Position, and its value is read as a time (aria-valuetext "12:30 of 45:00"). Deployed in ipx-web (1.2.1-dev).
