First of all, congratulations on making a great app, especially the looks of it and its reliability in playing back Yt stuff.

I use it mostly for playing online videos and as such, I have noticed a few things:

  1. That the horizontal scroll bar (to search in the video/skip to a section) is a bit too thin for my liking.

  2. Some videos have chapter but the player does not show them.

  3. Although overall it is a great app with excellent UI and customization options, for some users like me, all those options in the settings menu can be a bit too much, by that I mean confusing and tedious to sort through.

  4. To me the app defaults to playing audio with the option then to switch to video. Since play videos instead of listening to audio, I have to manually choose the option to play the video version each time.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Thicker search bar or search bar inside the video (that appears then disappear shortly after)

  2. Chapter support inside videos.

  3. Upon setup, the choice to pick a simple or a more complex user experience interface. In the simple interface just simple, basic/strictly necessary settings, for the app to function as intended would be offered, whereas the complex one would allow for the full range of customization etc to be displayed. The option to toggle back and forth for user convenience would be a good idea.

  4. Default option to play video instead of audio.

That's it, I am glad I found this app.
