Description

Clear and concise description of the problem

The current built-in video player lacks several essential features and feels overly simplistic. This impacts usability and user experience.

Add or improve:
1️⃣ Refine the UI to be more polished and less simplistic.
2️⃣ Support multiple playback speeds.
3️⃣ Display remaining video time.

4️⃣ Add closed captions (CC) support.
5️⃣ Add Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode.
6️⃣ Change mouse cursor to hand pointer when hovering over progress bar and control buttons.
7️⃣ Remember and restore the last volume level setting.
