xp's Issues

Suggestion: Debian/Ubuntu compatibility

Hi, could you make xp compatible with Debian (if it's possible)? I really love this program, and I wanted to try it. But I am on Debian.

Suggestion: Music cropping using sponsorblock

Sponsorblock is a user submitter database of timestamps of content in youtube videos

More spesifically it contains tinestamps for non music in music videos

I guess you get what i mean

Remove modest dependency

arrogant, the library xp uses to read OEmbed HTML meta tags depends on modest.

Modest cannot be built using clang.
Modest is no longer mantained.
According to pkgs.org modest is only available on Arch Linux and is only required by hq, a package that's not required by any other package and was last updated in 2020, it's possible it will be removed alongside modest.
https://pkgs.org/search/?q=libmodest.so

The developers of modest recommend using lexbor, however it isn't in any of distro repositories. Statically linking it could be an option but it could create some issues

Suggestion: Add song loop/playlist loop

Hello (once again, sorry), this is just a suggestion and you don't have to implement it if you don't want to, but, if you can, could you please add a functionality to loop songs/the playlist?
