[Feature]Failed Fragment and Cytube

[Zaelesh]

This extension is invaluable to me, but it would be leaps and bounds ahead of that if you would add just two simple features. Please please please make it auto retry to load failed fragments, and add compatibility with the website Cytu.be, specifically the video syncing and when new files are played.

[Zaelesh]

Please?

By default it should automatically retry failed fragments once that region becomes necessary for playback. As for compatibility, its probably because they use a custom video manifest format. you can make a custom source pattern to allow for faststream to find those videos. See the wiki: https://github.com/Andrews54757/FastStream/wiki/Custom-Source-Patterns

No that has nothing to do with the compatibility i'm talking about, the site works a specific way, it syncs every viewer onto the same playtime to simulate the experience of a livesteam, and this syncing doesn't happen when using faststream. Can you please actually take a look at the site i'm talking about and consider updating faststream?

Cytube is an open source site and is on github, so you can look at the code yourself https://github.com/calzoneman/sync

Oh I see. FastStream runs in an iframe so it runs independently of the website you use it on. This is mainly for privacy/security reasons so websites can't click jack. We'll have to make an API for websites like cytube if we want websites to control the player.

Yea that's what i'm asking, could you please? I'm not sure how much work that would involve and i hope i'm not asking for too much.

Maybe there's a way to achieve that universally as a toggleable setting? instead of on a per website basis. That would certainly be something worth adding. Either way, Just Cytube would mean so much to me.
