• Major Feature: Added full Windows and Linux platform support — package now supports all 6 platforms (20/20 on pub.dev).
  • Windows: Uses video_player_win for normal video playback (compatible with flutter_inappwebview).
  • Linux: Uses video_player_media_kit (media_kit backend) for normal video playback.
• New API: Added AdaptiveVideoPlayerPlatform.ensureInitialized() — a single-line setup to enable desktop video playback in your main().
• Fix: Moved YouTube player fullscreen button to appear after the YouTube logo in the bottom bar and increased icon size for better visibility.
• Documentation: Updated README with new platform support table, combined Windows & Linux setup guide, and updated FAQ.

• Major Feature: Added Subtitle/CC Support parsing (SRT/VTT formats).
• Major Feature: Externalizing Custom UI Builders (controlsBuilder, subtitleBuilder) for complete custom overlay creation.
