bwoah··on Better and Cheaper Than IPTV
This is super cool. Thanks for building it.

Here are a couple of issues I'm seeing in Brave on Debian:

The player's mute button effectiveness lasts for fractions-to-seconds before the player unmutes itself. I instead need to mute the tab.

Fit Screen doesn't do anything when clicked.

Full Screen doesn't preserve the stream's aspect ratio and instead stretches to the displays' aspect ratio, which on my non-16:9 displays gets weird.

Floating Window has some glitchy draw behavior, among other bugs.

Still, I love it. It's great and I use it daily. Thanks again!

I had the same thing happen once, and it was as fascinating as it was unsettling. Very slight movement of one needle in what seemed like a pretty inconsequential part of my body produced a near-instantaneous full-body reaction involving many systems.
