Embedded video thumbnails not displayed
Description
When downloading videos using tools like yt-dlp, there’s an option to embed the original YouTube thumbnail directly into the video file (e.g., MP4). These thumbnails are correctly displayed in most media players (e.g., VLC, MX Player), but Next Player does not display them. Instead, it shows a blank/default thumbnail.
Steps to Reproduce
Download a video using yt-dlp with the --embed-thumbnail option. Example:
yt-dlp --embed-thumbnail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example
Open the resulting video file in Next Player.
Observe that the thumbnail is not displayed in the player’s library.
Expected Behavior
Next Player should detect and display the embedded thumbnail from the video file, similar to how VLC or MX Player handle it.
Actual Behavior
No embedded thumbnail is displayed, only a default/blank preview.
@bottleneck01 I think the point of this player is to display a thumbnail from the video directly rather than to use an embedded one. Most people use embedded images for audio files, such as cover art in mp3 or aac files.
