Add an “Open in External Player” option to the Nextcloud Web UI when viewing video files, including public share links.
The current embedded player is great for normal video playback, but external players like VLC or MPV can provide
better codec support, hardware acceleration, subtitle support, and playback options.
Users should be able to stream videos directly in an external player instead of downloading the file first.
Ideally, add:
- Open in External Player
- Copy Streaming URL
This would be especially useful for large/4K videos and users running Nextcloud as a personal media server.
