Feature: Show thumbnail as poster when playing audio only files #870

We have been using CyTube for ages and its awesome! :D

Especially the raw/selfhosted media feature is used a lot. When adding .mp3 files we would like to see a poster image. Maybe this could be done by using the existing thumbnail specified in the .json?

We would love to see such a feature.

Using the thumbnail in the CyTube-specified JSON format for custom media as a surrogate video feed when the media consists of audio only definitely seems within scope. :ok_hand:

Just to confirm, for my own peace of mind if nothing else, there are no showstoppers and it's possible:

MDN confirms video element can be used for audio only.
VideoJS surfaces the relevant API

I agree, I want this feature! Would be great!

I think this and #535 are duplicates, but I'm going to close #535 in favor of this one because supporting this in custom media manifests seems more viable than extracting the image from an audio file.

Resolved in pending CyTube 3.90-rc release.

You may see a working example here.
