Description

I believe there's room for providing custom buttons to the player, and associate those with external handlers.

In my application I've added an HD button that appears next to the full-screen button and it worked great, see - https://github.com/fluttercommunity/chewie/compare/master...loudinthecloud:flutter_chewie_with_qualities:add_hd_button

Not sure if this is the best design, but it gets the job done.

I think the user should be able to provide a list of buttons in the chewie configuration, and perform any action he needs externally. I think the most common features will be to implement a stateful button, with handlers for each state. Please let me know if you'd like a pull request, and what would be the requirements.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the referenced branch that adds an HD button to Chewie. Understand the Chewie player plugin architecture, specifically how controls are rendered and how to add custom buttons alongside existing ones. Study the Chewie configuration class to see how to pass a list of custom button widgets or actions. Implement a similar approach and submit a pull request.
