Update: Version 1.1 is out now.

In this version I mostly concentrated on improving subtitle support.
This means first of all that the subtitle size setting is now standardized and uses the Theme.small, Theme.medium, Theme.large, Theme.extraLarge settings so that it will work across all devices no matter tablet or phone with different resolutions.
The second thing is making readibility better with introducing an outline by default around the text which uses either black or white as color depending on your choosen text color.
If this isn't enough to make the subtitle text clearer you can also enable a solid text background using white or black as a color.
Apros pros color I tweaked the color dialog for the subtitle text color to present a more sane list of colors including black and white.

Next big thing in this release is initial support for playlists. Supported currently are only .pls files (also the ones created by the jolla media player).
You can open existing pls files and create new ones and add songs or videos to it and save it.

Get the RPM from Openrepos
Tablet (i486) RPM also available

Changes:
  • Correctly Scale Play/Pause Button & Music Icon
  • Use ytdl for commandline arguments opening urls
  • Only offer subtitle sizes "small", "medium", "large", "extralarge" (better for big screen and small screen devices)
  • Outline subtitle text with contrast color to make it more visible
  • Added specific list of subtitleColors (most common and usable including white and black)
  • Added option to use solid subtitletext background (making it easier to read subtitles)
  • Load Subtitles dynamically (only load it when necessary saving a little bit of RAM)
  • Added initial playlist support (only pls files atm)
  • Added Skip Forward as coveraction if in playlist mode
  • Added Create new playlist and add tracks to it

Update: Version 1.6 is available now.

This version brings small little improvements all over the place aswell as some bugfixes and even some new features.
The new feature is a ffwd and rew button in the main control interface.
It allows you to go forward or backwards 10 seconds on the current track.
When playing back a playlist a long press on those buttons allows skipping to next track or going back to previous one.

With the new OSD controls I also fixed a pretty annoying bug that could lead to title and OSD Controls being out of sync (title being hidden while OSD shown or other way around)
Some visual annoyances in the playlist creation were fixed (dockedPanel being visually distorted when playlist was already full)

Visually the second biggest update is mimetype icons in the advanced and simple filemanager.
Simple filemanager now uses the Sailfish way of navigating. So no more .. (dot dot) directory entries to go up one directory. Just navigate via swipes.

Hope you enjoy this updated version

Changelog
  • Added rewind and fastforward button
  • Switched to using theme.iconSize values instead of hardcoded ones
  • Fixed osd elements could hide out of sync (title shown but play/pause*not visible and tapping makes title disappear but play/pause appear)
  • Finalized support for ffwd and rew buttons (by default jumping +10/-10*seconds)
  • Only react ffwd/rew when their controls are visible
  • Long press on ffwd/rew buttons perform next/prev if playlist
  • Fixed focussing restoring to create playlist docked panel
  • Make dockedPanel modal (fixes visibility when already populated*playlist)
  • Use audio/video mimetype icons in advanced and simple filemanager
  • Simple FileManager now uses SailfishOS way of navigating (instead of ..*to go up one folder swipe back)
  • Beautify Simple Filemanager by showing directory subtext on directories
  • Get filesize from QFileInfo rather then metadata as metadata does not*seem to work
  • Use sortDirFirst option in advanced filemanager
  • Added more mimetype icons to advanced filemanager
  • Fixed selectionMode in simple filemanager

You can get the rpm as usual from Openrepos:

Vevo Youtube Videos you mean ?
It is not using youtube-dl for it. I plan on making it available or on youtube videos try to fallback to youtube-dl if the normal method fails.

Just a little comment on fastforward and rewind... Don't know about others, but I find these functions more useful when it's for example fastforward 10 secs and rewind 5 secs. With that kind of seeking you can basically search the spot in timeline you want using Newton's iterative method.

In more layman's terms, often you want to go forward in video to where you happened to be, though more than likely you miss the exact spot and go too far. In that case you want to go a little bit back. You might do this back and forth for a while until you find the correct spot. When the forward/rewind values are different it makes this process easier.

Just my two cents, whether or not above comments are taken into consideration, this is an excellent application so thank you very much for the updates!

Got it.
This explanation makes sense so I added it to the next version already.
See commit: https://github.com/llelectronics/vid...f7b02f9c3225ea
