Notes

Chapters are available with Piped (with thumbnails). In case chapters are unavailable the app will try to find them in the video description
Example links:

yattee://channel/UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw
yattee://c/DudePerfect
yattee://playlist?list=PLDIoUOhQQPlXr63I_vwF9GD8sAKh77dWU
yattee://search?search_query=Relaxing+music

Available links:

yattee://favorites
yattee://subscriptions
yattee://popular
yattee://trending
yattee://search

Now only streams for current instance are loaded
Video details are loaded when adding to the queue for faster switching to next item, and after restarting app it is loaded on demand
Due to baffling complexity of implementation, on versions earlier than iOS 16 the overlays are always autohidden. On iOS 16 it will only hide when in full screen playback
Activate from video context menu or from player controls to load just the audio track to save bandwidth and loading time. Video track will be restored if you leave Music Mode.
