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.
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.
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.
- The order of the formats can now be changed in the Quality Settings.
- sortingOrder is now part of QualitiyProfile.
- bestPlayable is now part of PlayerBackend.
- hls and stream aren't treated as unknown anymore.
After the video has ended, hitting play restarts the video from the beginning
fixes#449
If I understand the issue correctly, however, videos can now be played again without hitting the "Start from the beginning" button.
When the time stamp for the last segment is greater the duration currently the video pauses. This interferes with PR #646.
Now instead of pausing we jump to the duration (end time) of the video instead.
Currently, when leaving PiP the backend doesn't switch to the one that was used before starting PiP.
Now, when the backend was MPV, it switches back to it after leaving PiP.
This should reduce the number of falsely matched chapters, e.g., when time-code-like numbers appear in the middle of the text, like 16:9 or sports results.
It also checks for chapters that have an end time and omits the end time code from the title.
Track lists in music videos are now also properly displayed as chapters.
