Description
The screenshot button produces a corrupted image with different colors each time. In other words, it’s not possible to take a proper screenshot from the video player.
- First image: This is the screenshot taken by Improved Screenshoot.
- Second image: This is the actual image we want to see.
- Third image: This shows that a layer is over the player panel, which is why the image cannot be captured.
Request: Please add a repeat (loop) feature to ImprovedTube.

It would also be amazing if there could be a feature that stores suggested videos in the cache, allowing them to be manually modified.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the corrupted screenshot behavior in the YouTube video player and compare it with the expected image shown in the issue. The issue also requests video looping and editable caching of suggested videos, so confirm which scope is intended before changing anything; done should include a reproducible fix with verification that screenshots capture the player correctly.
