Fix those: 1. When swip or double tap to ff a buffering animation appears on mid-display it feels laggy playback, fix it 2. Add recently played video folder/options 3. Add video filters like warm, vivid, cool, high contrast etc., or add video scene adjusting options manually like contrast, gamma, saturation, brightness etc
