The History Widget in the Home View was hard-coded to 10 items. Now it uses the limit set in the settings.
The items weren't immediate updated when the limit was changed.
List Views had a hard-coded limit of 10 items. Now they use the limit supplied in the parameter.
This gives a huge increase in perceived performance. The UI is now much more responsive since some tasks are run in the background and don't block the UI anymore.
I added a new feature. When instances are not proxied, Yattee first checks the URL to make sure it is not a restricted video. Usually, music videos and sports content can only be played back by the same IP address that requested the URL in the first place. That is why some videos do not play when the proxy is disabled.
This approach has multiple advantages. First and foremost, It reduced the load on Invidious/Piped instances, since users can now directly access the videos without going through the instance, which might be severely bandwidth limited. Secondly, users don't need to manually turn on the proxy when they want to watch IP address bound content, since Yattee automatically proxies such content.
Furthermore, adding the proxy option allows mitigating some severe playback issues with invidious instances. Invidious by default returns proxied URLs for videos, and due to some bug in the Invidious proxy, scrubbing or continuing playback at a random timestamp can lead to severe wait times for the users.
This should fix numerous playback issues: #666, #626, #590, #585, #498, #457, #400
HLS: try matching the set resolution. This works okay with AVPlayer. With MPV it is hit and miss, most of the time MPV targets the highest available bitrate, instead of the set bitrate.
AVPlayer now supports higher resolution up to 1080p60.
Chapters have their own section is the settings. The users can decide if chapter thumbnails should be shown or not. Also they can decide to only show thumbnails if they are not the same.
The VideoDetailsView had to be modified, to avoid compiler type-checking errors.
This makes sure that HLS Streams can be compared with non HLS streams, otherwise HLS would have been the first selected since the maxResolution.value might have been higher then what could actually be the highest resolution served.
When a user taps on a chapter, the pop now also shows the name of the chapter. The chapters are now marked in AppRedColor instead of orange.
This is based on PR #639
That one needs to be merged first before this one can go in.
