Music video support #5184

Clementine Player is already fantastic: it plays pretty much any audio file type you throw at it, it has great file organization features, has great visualizations to accompany music, supports all of the playlist formats that matter, can interface with Spotify and other services directly, and it's all open source.

The only thing keeping Clementine from being the ultimate music player is the lack of a music video visualization option. You have to open music videos in another media player if you want to see the video that accompanies the music as your visualization. Music services like Spotify also offer streaming music videos, so you have to switch back to use the separate client since Clementine has incomplete support for Spotify streaming.

It seems that adding music videos as a visualization would be really great for Clementine, if only because it fixes issues like broken Spotify streaming support.

Thanks for the hard work

This is something of a gap in Linux music players in general that I would love to see Clementine fill. I'm a recent move to Linux to avoid Win10, but it's been a constant irritation that there really isn't a good music library organizer that can handle playing music videos. This was basic functionality in the Win ecosystem all the way back to Winamp. I hope you'll look at adding this into your roadmap. Thank you!
