      I believe it’s open source and considering their cross-platform focus I can imagine they’re a bit wary of adding functionality that might break on one of those or requires maintenance.

      It’s possible to contribute though and seem to require an agreement before merging stuff.

      If all else fails you could at least create a fork where you add that basic functionality.

      Ah come on. Think of all the good free software that sold out. This is a video player that’s cross platform, is a simple install with no additional drivers required, and has kept up with video standards as they’ve progressed over the years. it doesn’t have ads or bloatware or “premium” subscription.

      Okay dev may have slowed or stopped and that’s a shame but we have gotten a damn good deal so far.

      And if VLC isn’t to your liking there are good alternatives.
