COMMON ISSUES / FAQ

Can you add a Forward/Backwards aka. Next/Previous button?

Since these function are site specific and would require to play catch up each time a site decided to change something currently it is not planned to support these.

The player looks ugly, can you change XYZ?

If XYZ hold some degree of usability improvment that can be backed up by common and well established User interface guidelines ... maybe. If you just have a personal preferecne, please look into the custom CSS style option.

I have some media that doens show up.

Please report the site via the support site link and i'll try to look into it.
