Zoom feature in Player #2431

Describe your suggested feature

I currently have to use a different app only because CloudStream lacks this zoom feature.

Add a Zoom mode in the player that lets users crop out letterbox black bars and zoom the image a little.

Other details

  1. Why :
    Many modern movies/series have black bars (letterboxing). Current fit/stretch/zoom either makes the image too small or zooms so much that it cuts important parts. A controlled zoom mode fixes this.

  2. Recommendation :
    The player shouldn't freeze when zooming in directly.  Either create a separate interface for the zoom feature or integrate it somehow within the "resize" functionality. This prevents accidental mistouches.
    Remember last zoom for per title.

  3. Request :
    If possible, it would be great to have a feature to save zoom levels. This would allow us to create our own custom presets.
