Automatically turn timestamps in a video description into links #5103

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A number of YouTubers who cross-post to LBRY tend to use timestamps in their video descriptions. For example, IvanOnTech or TheCryptoLark. On YouTube, these timestamps are links, making it very simple to skip to whatever is interesting to the viewer. Whenever I watch these channels on LBRY, I'm frustrated that I have to find the correct time in the video manually (especially frustrating on mobile, where it's basically impossible to find the correct timestamp, especially with longer videos).

Describe the solution you'd like Timestamps in video descriptions would be automatically converted to links. Clicking a link would automatically skip to that time in the video.

Describe alternatives you've considered There could be fancier ways to present these timestamps — e.g. in a separate section. However, that would remove the context in which these timestamps were added to the description, and that context could potentially be quite important.
