### Problem Description

Having to click the drop down to open the youtube embedded for every video during times when the default video player doesn't work.

### Proposed Solution

The default behavior could be configured to opening the youtube-nocookie embedded link when clicking the video thumbnail.
This makes it easier than having to open the drop down then clicking the open youtube embedded.
It would also be nice if a video opened with youtube embed could be marked automatically as watched.

### Alternatives Considered

The current method requires more clicks and is not the easiest on a HTPC remote.
