This release is quite significant, so I've decided to provide a detailed release post.
Implemented by me (@moisout)
The video player has been rewritten. The old one was getting unmaintainable, most of the logic lived in a single file with over 1000 lines of code.
The new player has now reached approximate feature parity with the old one, so I feel comfortable releasing it. I am not done working on it, you can check out the roadmap.
Here are some of the new things it does:
All quality options delivered by YouTube are available in the quality switcher. This includes up to 8k, 60fps and HDR.
The player will try to play up to the quality set in the users settings. You can also manually select a quality from the quality switcher.
If a video has multiple audio tracks, you can select them from the language switcher.
Also, support for subtitles! The renderer for subtitles is pretty basic, so it doesn't support all the fancy stuff YouTube does, but it should work for most videos.
Hovering over the seekbar now provides a frame preview, including the current SponsorBlock segment and chapter.
