Known Bugs

• Buggy / unexpected playback behavior It was caused because of race conditions and absence of critical section among the threads. Fixed it using semaphores

• If some VLC error starts showing up on the screen, just resize the terminal and it will be gone Completely removed VLC and replaced it with much more minimal and faster mpv player
