Add "Search" Feature And Some Improvement To PhreshPlayer

Components

PhreshPlayer is a media player for playing music and video that is easy to usage that is just by drag and drop and file directly played. PhreshPlayer inspired by MPV Player and PotPlayer developed using Electron.
PhreshPlayer does not have many features like in the media player display in generally, the features of Phreshplayer only Playlist on the right, In the middle there is the play/pause button, forward/backward button, Next/Previous button, loop button, mute button, fullscreen button, and right click menu.

Supported file types:

• mp4
• webm
• mkv (aac audio only. ac3 not, but you can convert to aac)
• m4v
• ogg (ogv)
• mov
• mp3
• flac

Currently, in PhreshPlayer when we want to find a song name in the playlist we have to look for it by scrolling to get the song, and the playlist can't be deleted to create a new playlist, eg in the playlist there are more than 1000 songs then we want to find a song name, it must be very annoying. Below is my suggestion of how to fix that problem

Proposal 1: Adding Search Feature in Playlist Part

Adding the search features on the playlist section is intended when the user wants to find a song users can directly write the title or artist name in the search field, then it will show the result on the playlist if the song exists or will display the song message not found if the track searched is not in the playlist. This search feature only works offline only or just search for the song title that has been entered into PhreshPlayer playlist.

Proposal 2: Adding Add and Delete Playlist Features in Right Click Menu

Feature 1: Delete Playlist

Currently, PhreshPlayer can't clear some songs from the playlist in other words we have to clear all existing playlists, although the select only part of the playlist by drag out, therefore I suggest to add "Clear Playlist" features, so after the song from the playlist is selected then right click and the user can clear the song from the selected playlist without clear all the songs in the playlist.

Feature 2: Add Playlist

Add playlist works to add new files or folders into the PhreshPlayer playlist in addition to the way in drag, Users can add new playlists by way of open files and choose the files or folders want to add.

Benefits

1. Implementation of the search feature will help users when they want to search for a song in the playlist without having to scroll and select one by one the song they want to search on a playlist that may contain hundreds or even thousands of songs, with the user search feature simply write the title or artist name in the search field.
2. Add playlist and Delete playlist is useful for users when wanting to delete some songs from the playlist without having to delete all the songs, this is an improvement for PhreshPlayer.
