Getting value of dynamic element

Issues/Bugs

I’d like to get the video duration and the current time where the video is

time
time.jpg463×832 67.9 KB

and I’m using these two lines to get those.

duration = driver.find_element(AppiumBy.ID, 'com.twitter.android:id/time').text
ccurrent_time = driver.find_element(AppiumBy.ID, 'com.twitter.android:id/time_current').text

However, they are very slow, and I can’t read the real progress of the video. Is there any alternative?
