v1.0.2 - Handle YouTube embed preview failures more gracefully
This update improves how YouTube Clipper handles videos that do not allow reliable embedded playback inside the app.
Changes in this release:
- Detect embedded YouTube preview failures for restricted videos
- Show a clear fallback message instead of a broken preview
- Keep manual timestamp clipping available even when preview is blocked
- Add an "Open on YouTube" fallback link for affected videos
- Document the behavior in the README
Notes:
- Some videos can still be clipped even if YouTube does not allow inline embedded preview
- This improves reliability without blocking the clipping workflow
