Add thumbnail desaturation feature #244

Closed jgoedde closed 1 month ago

jgoedde commented 2 months ago

This update introduces a feature that allows users to adjust the desaturation level of video thumbnails, helping to mitigate issues with overly vibrant, clickbait thumbnails. The new setting is accessible via the options page and changes are implemented in the video player and thumbnail rendering functions. This user-configurable setting can range from 0 (vibrant) to 100 (black and white).

To test this pull request, follow the instructions in the wiki.


This PR adds functionality to make all the thumbnails desaturated by a user provided factor from options page. Works either on original thumbnails, user submitted thumbnails and auto-generated thumbnails.

Based on feature request from issue #177
