Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. sometimes i want to be able to watch some episodes while reading chats/forums.

Describe the solution you'd like a picture in picture toggle like in the web player would be awesome

Describe alternatives you've considered using the web version but having to deal with transcoding + large bandwidth for the same quality.

Additional context os: Ubuntu 23.10

Just pin your window (always on top), your DE should support it

ivanjx commented 3 months ago

not an ideal solution at all:

having to pin the window varies on each DE but will never be as easy as clicking a single button.
window frame stays there.
need to resize the window manually (each time).
does not stick with each workspace.

HamletDuFromage commented 3 months ago

Chances are your DE lets you hide window decorations for specific programs, and windows should keep their size at every launch.

Anyway, I don't want to backseat moderate but I also assume this won't be implemented. The browser does all the work for the web player so this would likely require quite a bit of work. I'd like to be proven wrong though

ivanjx commented 3 months ago

if browser is doing all the work (except decoding) then shouldnt that be even easier to implement? chromium already supports PiP since version 70 (assuming jmp uses qt 5.15.x+).

Would also like this for macOS.
