### Update (January 2025)
53+
54+
I remade my GitHub account to change the email address, so the original repo was deleted. I just started the releases from 0 again.
55+
Also I have changed the "scope" of the project a bit. I now plan on using yt-dlp for video playback. Originally I had coded into GoTube the ability to get the direct URL from a YouTube video, but this broke, and maintaining this isn't something I can guarantee. yt-dlp is a bit slower, but it will be more reliable.
56+
This also means the exact watch time won't be saved back to YouTube, only that the video was watched. I would like to fix this in the future.
