[Feature Request]: Reload Button #6201

Closed b2ag closed 1 day ago

b2ag commented 1 day ago

Guidelines

Problem Description

I sometimes find myself in the need of a reload function. Currently I click back and forward or click the channel and back. By the way quickly clicking back and forward almost always results in a race condition where the "back video" is loaded in place of the "forward video" (and playback position of "forward video" is applied to "back video").

Proposed Solution

Add a reload button next to back and forward buttons. And maybe fix the race condition if there is time to spare.

Alternatives Considered

Sticking to the old "back and forward" dance.

Issue Labels

ease of use improvement

Additional Information

Affects all versions I used so far, which are some since some years. AppImage, Pipewire and (but race condition seems not limited to following to me) NixOS unstable, Wayland and NVIDA

If generating to much sus traffic by abusing the reload button is a potential issue, I'd be fine with a cooldown function being attached to it.
