Description: oipengl video output option that you may already be familiar with, this is to do with how VidCutter gets video from mpv and presents it which is now via an OpenGL widget. This will not 
        be too noticeable a change to most users who have no issues with the app, except for MUCH MUCH better stability and quality playback. The big deal comes with those who have had problems
        due to old graphics hardware w/ no hardward acceleration etc. Basically, all the problem systems I've tested with problems in the past all work flawlessly now, including macOS. This has been 
        a personal goal of mine in cracking the opengl w/ mpv on python qt challenge.
        
        Besides the above, there are LOADS of fixes, an improved thumbnailed timeline w/ larger previews + better threading to get it all working faster in the background
        without slowing your work down. Adding your own clips for joining is also a new feature so you're not limited to just the video source you've loaded in the player BUT do keep in mind that all
        clips must have the same frame size (width x height) as all other clips included. VidCutter remains focused on direct stream copy tasks, hence the speedy results and anything requiring encoding
        isn't the goal of the project. You have a VERY large choice of proper video editors for that, I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here, but offer a small easy to use, modern alternative to a
        multimedia editor if you're only concerned with quicks cuts/joins and minimal settings, let the app pick whats best for your source files.
        
        Anyways, should be releasing v4 by the end of this week. I also need to respond to many of the issues list posts, I've addressed many things that have been mentioned there so don't feel like
        I'm ignoring, just focused my free time on getting the app to where I've wanted it to be feature-wise, finally.

        ***
        
        ### Linux Users
        
        #### Arch Linux
        
        Users can install directly from AUR, package is available in both stable and git-latest versions:
        
            AUR: vidcutter, vidcutter-git
        
        #### Ubuntu/Mint/Debian and all other Ubuntu derivatives 
        
        Users can install the latest release via:
        
            ppa:ozmartian/apps
        
        If you are new to PPAs then just issue the following commands in a terminal:
        
            sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ozmartian/apps
            sudo apt-get update
            sudo apt-get install vidcutter
        
        #### Fedora
        
        Users can install via the RPM available on the releases page or via my custom copr repository:
        
            suspiria/VidCutter
            
        The commands for a Fedora install via this method are:
        
            dnf copr enable suspiria/VidCutter
            dnf install vidcutter
        
        #### openSUSE
        
        VidCutter is available via the Packman third-party repository. Instructions to enable it can be found here:
        
           https://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories#Packman
        
        ### AppImage
        
        An AppImage version is also available on the releases page to help all other Linux users.
        
        ***
        
        ### PyPi
        
        If you're familiar with Python and PyPi then you can always try that option too but avoid installing PyQt5 from through pip and instead run with your distributions own PyQt5 offering. PyQt5 is known as some of the following names under various distros: python-pyqt5, python3-pyqt5, python3-qt5 etc. Using your distro's version ensures a more seamless look & feel with the app integrating with your distro's look & feel + widget sets. Installing all via PyPi will still work, but won't look as nice..
        
        If installing via PyPi, be aware to also ensure you have the following tools also installed via your package manager or any other means it doesn't matter so long as they are installed:
        
            - libmpv (Arch: mpv, Ubuntu: libmpv1, Fedora: mpv-libs via RPMFusion, openSUSE: libmpv1)
            - FFmpeg (ffmpeg in all places, if on older Linux then you may have libav-tools instead which will also work)
            - mediainfo (mediainfo in all/most places. mainly needs to be the CLI version)
        
        Fedora and RedHat users need to enable the RPMFusion repository in order to access mpv packages and just about anything multimedia-wise. Chances are you know what I'm talking about here but if not here are some simple steps to get VidCutter working in Fedora 25, the same should apply for any other RPM based distro... until I get off my lazy butt and try to learn RPM packaging (oh how horrible it looks though).... if anyone wants to help in this area by all means do!

        ## Fedora Installation Walkthrough
        
        NOTE: a Fedora25 RPM package is now included in release builds so use that. The following remains for reference or troubleshooting.
        
        1. Enable RPMFusion Free repository on your system if not already added. Follow the instructions here for your distro/version
        
            https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
            
        2. Run 'dnf update' to ensure your system is all up to date.  
        
        3. Install the following packages, PyQt5 is from Fedora base repo and the rest should all come from RPMFusion (Fedora doesn't allow mpv/ffmpeg in their repos due to the free as in beer philosophy. if you dont know what i am talking about, head to www.fsf.org to read up on this stuff if interested)
        
        4. Package list is:
        
            - python3-qt5
            - mpv-libs
            - ffmpeg
            - mediainfo
            - python3-setuptools
        
        5. Download VidCutter3 source code to temp folder location and install via python setuptools as follows:
            ```
            $ wget https://github.com/ozmartian/vidcutter/archive/master.tar.gz
            
            $ tar zxf master.tar.gz
            
            $ rm master.tar.gz
            
            $ cd vidcutter-master
            
            $ sed -i "s/pypi/rpm/" "vidcutter/__init__.py"
            
            $ sudo python3 setup.py install
            ```
        6. That's all folks!

        ## Command-line for debugging (Linux/macOS only)
          ```
          $ vidcutter --help
        
        Usage: vidcutter [options] [video] [project]
        
        VidCutter - the simplest + fastest video cutter & joiner
        
        Options:
          --debug        debug mode; verbose console output & logging. This will
                         basically output what is being logged to file to the console
                         stdout. Mainly useful for debugging problems with your system
                         video and/or audio stack and codec configuration.
          --dev          developer mode; disables the use of compiled resource files so
                         that all app resources & assets are accessed directly from the
                         file system allowing you to see UI changes immediately. this
                         typically relates to changes made to Qt stylesheets (.qss),
                         layout/templates, content includes and images. basically all
                         assets defined in .qrc files throughout the codebase.
          -v, --version  Displays version information.
          -h, --help     Displays this help.
