Huge update!

SSVidPlayer is now a full blown Windows program. The HTML-only version is still online and better than ever, but wrapping the player in a windows app has allowed me to restore features that were lost when playing it in the browser. This includes support for native subtitles that are embedded in the video itself, 250% volume boost (used to only work on firefox browsers), and playlist saving and loading.

Full update list:

-Streamlined UI movement reaction logic
-Clarified labeling
-Fixed bad shadow outlines on subtitles at certain sizes
-Added program info easter egg page to bottom right of player (hover to show)
-Playlist flyout added to left edge of player. Supports saving/loading (only the windows app version), reordering, loading srt subtitles, etc. When there's more than 1 video in the list, previous/next buttons appear alongside the play/pause button in the timeline bar.
-Updated "loop" button to include a third option for looping the full playlist
-The "Fit-to-Page" button now is a toggle. When enabled, it will maintain the vertical fit regardless of window size.
-Added data persistence for settings that are supported by the browser (such as glow brightness)
-Added a ton of missing keyboard shortcuts (see ReadMe.md)
-Built windows app wrapper, themed the title bar, and implemented special logic to restore functionality that's not native to browser playback (volume boost, play list saving, etc)
-spent 8 hours getting drag-and-drop to work on windows
-Added a simple update notification feature
-Added a SUPER SICK visualizer for playing audio
-Fully custom Inno installation script made with custom assets
-Made a bunch of promo art for the microsoft store listing
-Rewrote ReadMe to reflect the new state of the program
