   This sounds like a nice feature to have, but to set expectations, we are unlikely to be able to get to it any time soon. In the meantime, consider using the <video> tag directly and accessing all available features, or using a different video player library on pub.

   Thank you for the update! I completely understand that this is a P3 priority, and I appreciate the heads-up. I’ve already tried to make the PR as clean as possible, and it’s just a small 5-line change to review. In the meantime, I’m using a patch for my own purposes while waiting for the review, so I’m not in a rush. Thanks again for considering it, and I’m happy to wait until the team has time to address it!
