Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The existing video player is lacking in features and the styling is very basic. When sharing videos with clients it would be nice to have a better looking, and more feature rich video player.
Describe the solution you'd like
As far as I'm aware, the current video player is based on plyr.io The current plyr https://plyr.io/ - looks great and offers many more features:
- modern theme
- Thumbnail support
- markers
- captions
- quality selection
It would be great to be able to incorporate the newer plyr into viewer, (even if it's just the theming to start with) as this would really elevate the video viewing experience in Nextcloud.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing video player and its Plyr integration in the viewer repository, then compare the current experience with the features listed in the issue and the current plyr.io player. Define which upgrades are in scope before changing anything; done should mean the agreed player improvements are implemented and the affected viewing flows still work.
