Fix video loading and improve player UI

Major fixes:
- Fix drag-and-drop video loading bug (s.source was never set)
- Call switchToVideo() instead of showPlayerView() to properly initialize player state
- Show initial preview frame/thumbnail when video loads
- Improve ffprobe error messages (capture stderr for better diagnostics)

UI improvements:
- Move playlist from left to right side
- Add playlist toggle button (☰) with visibility control
- Load and display preview frame immediately when video loads
- Improve control layout with volume container
- Auto-hide playlist when only one video loaded

Documentation:
- Add FEATURE_ROADMAP.md tracking 30 planned features
- Add ICONS_NEEDED.md listing 53 required SVG icons
- Update .gitignore to exclude binaries

+# VT_Player Development Specification: Frame-Accurate Playback & Lossless Cutting
+
+**Project:** VT_Player
+**Target:** Lightweight frame-accurate video player with keyframe navigation for lossless cutting
+**Goal:** Provide LosslessCut-style functionality using FFmpeg suite exclusively
+**Performance:** Competitive with existing tools, optimized for lightweight operation
+**Status:** Foundation exists, keyframe features need implementation
+
+---
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+- **Lightweight First:** Minimize memory footprint, avoid bloat
+- **FFmpeg Suite Only:** Use ffplay, ffmpeg, ffprobe - no external players
+- **Hardware Accelerated:** Leverage GPU when available, graceful fallback to CPU
+- **Responsive UI:** All operations feel instant (<100ms response time)
+- **Smart Caching:** Cache intelligently, clean up aggressively
+
+---
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### What's Working ✓
+1. **Basic Player Controller** (`internal/player/controller_linux.go`)
+   - ffplay integration with stdin control
+   - Play/pause/seek/volume controls
+   - Window embedding via xdotool/SDL
+   - ~50MB memory footprint for playback
+
+2. **Player UI** (`main.go:555-800`)
+   - Video loading and playlist
+   - Basic controls and time display
+   - Slider-based seeking
+
+3. **Video Metadata** (`videoSource` struct)
+   - FFprobe metadata extraction
+   - Duration/resolution/framerate parsing
+
+### What's Missing ✗
+1. **No keyframe detection** - Cannot identify I-frames
+2. **No frame-by-frame navigation** - Only time-based seeking
+3. **No timeline visualization** - No keyframe markers
+4. **No in/out point marking** - Cannot mark cut points
+5. **No lossless cut functionality** - No stream copy cutting
+6. **No frame counter** - Only shows time
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Lightweight Keyframe Detection
+**Goal:** <5s detection time for 1-hour video, <10MB memory overhead
+
+#### Create `internal/keyframe/detector.go`
+
+**Strategy: Sparse Keyframe Index**
+```go
+package keyframe
+
+// Keyframe represents an I-frame position
+type Keyframe struct {
+    FrameNum  int     // Frame number
+    Timestamp float64 // Time in seconds
+}
+
+// Index holds keyframe positions (I-frames only, not all frames)
+type Index struct {
+    Keyframes   []Keyframe // Only I-frames (~1KB per minute of video)
+    TotalFrames int
+    Duration    float64
+    FrameRate   float64
+}
+
+// DetectKeyframes uses FFprobe to find I-frames only
+func DetectKeyframes(videoPath string) (*Index, error) {
+    // ffprobe -v error -skip_frame nokey -select_streams v:0 \
+    //   -show_entries frame=pkt_pts_time -of csv video.mp4
+    //
+    // -skip_frame nokey = Only I-frames (5-10x faster than scanning all frames)
+    // Returns: 0.000000, 2.002000, 4.004000, ...
+
+    cmd := exec.Command("ffprobe",
+        "-v", "error",
+        "-skip_frame", "nokey",  // KEY OPTIMIZATION: Only I-frames
+        "-select_streams", "v:0",
+        "-show_entries", "frame=pkt_pts_time",
+        "-of", "csv=p=0",
+        videoPath,
+    )
+
+    // Parse output, build Keyframe array
+    // Memory: ~100 bytes per keyframe
+    // 1-hour video @ 2s GOP = ~1800 keyframes = ~180KB
+}
+
+// FindNearestKeyframe returns closest I-frame to timestamp
+func (idx *Index) FindNearestKeyframe(timestamp float64, direction string) *Keyframe {
+    // Binary search (O(log n))
+    // direction: "before", "after", "nearest"
+}
+
+// EstimateFrameNumber calculates frame # from timestamp
+func (idx *Index) EstimateFrameNumber(timestamp float64) int {
+    return int(timestamp * idx.FrameRate + 0.5)
+}
+```
+
+**Performance Targets:**
+- 1-hour video detection: <5 seconds
+- Memory usage: <1MB for index
+- Cache size: <100KB per video
+
+**Cache Strategy:**
+```go
+// Cache in memory during playback, persist to disk
+// Location: ~/.cache/vt_player/<video-hash>.kf
+// Format: Binary (timestamp as float64, 8 bytes per keyframe)
+// Invalidate if: video modified time changes
+```
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Frame-Accurate Seeking with ffplay
+**Goal:** Precise navigation using existing ffplay controller
+
+#### Extend `internal/player/controller_linux.go`
+
+**Position Tracking:**
+```go
+type ffplayController struct {
+    // ... existing fields ...
+
+    // NEW: Position tracking
+    lastKnownPos  float64   // Last seek position
+    lastKnownTime time.Time // When position was updated
+    playState     bool      // true = playing, false = paused
+}
+
+// GetCurrentPosition estimates current position
+func (c *ffplayController) GetCurrentPosition() float64 {
+    c.mu.Lock()
+    defer c.mu.Unlock()
+
+    if !c.playState {
+        // Paused: return last position
+        return c.lastKnownPos
+    }
+
+    // Playing: estimate based on elapsed time
+    elapsed := time.Since(c.lastKnownTime).Seconds()
+    return c.lastKnownPos + elapsed
+}
+
+// SeekToFrame seeks to specific frame number
+func (c *ffplayController) SeekToFrame(frameNum int, frameRate float64) error {
+    timestamp := float64(frameNum) / frameRate
+    return c.Seek(timestamp)
+}
+```
+
+**Frame Stepping Strategy:**
+```go
+// For single-frame steps: Use ffplay's built-in frame step
+// ffplay keyboard command: 's' = step to next frame
+
+var (
+    keyStepForward = []byte{'s'} // Frame step
+)
+
+func (c *ffplayController) StepFrame(direction int) error {
+    // Ensure paused
+    if !c.paused {
+        c.Pause()
+    }
+
+    if direction > 0 {
+        // Step forward: Use 's' key
+        return c.send(keyStepForward)
+    } else {
+        // Step backward: Seek back 1 frame
+        currentPos := c.GetCurrentPosition()
+        frameRate := c.frameRate // Store from metadata
+        backOneFrame := currentPos - (1.0 / frameRate)
+        return c.Seek(math.Max(0, backOneFrame))
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Memory Impact:** +40 bytes per controller instance
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Custom Timeline Widget with Keyframe Markers
+**Goal:** Visual timeline, smooth interaction, minimal redraw overhead
+
+#### Create `internal/ui/timeline.go`
+
+**Custom Fyne Widget:**
+```go
+package ui
+
+import (
+    "image/color"
+    "fyne.io/fyne/v2"
+    "fyne.io/fyne/v2/canvas"
+    "fyne.io/fyne/v2/widget"
+)
+
+// TimelineWidget shows video timeline with keyframe markers
+type TimelineWidget struct {
+    widget.BaseWidget
+
+    duration    float64      // Total duration
+    position    float64      // Current position
+    keyframes   []float64    // Keyframe timestamps
+    inPoint     *float64     // In-point marker
+    outPoint    *float64     // Out-point marker
+    onChange    func(float64) // Callback on seek
+
+    // Rendering cache (updated only on resize/data change)
+    cachedBackground *canvas.Rectangle
+    cachedKeyframes  []*canvas.Line
+    cachedScrubber   *canvas.Line
+}
+
+// CreateRenderer implements fyne.Widget
+func (t *TimelineWidget) CreateRenderer() fyne.WidgetRenderer {
+    // Draw once, update only scrubber position on drag
+    // Keyframe markers: 1px vertical yellow lines
+    // In-point: 2px blue line
+    // Out-point: 2px red line
+    // Scrubber: 3px white line
+}
+
+// Lightweight: Only redraw scrubber on position change
+// Full redraw only on resize or keyframe data change
+```
+
+**Memory Impact:** ~2KB per timeline widget
+**Rendering:** <5ms for 1000 keyframes
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Enhanced Player UI
+**Goal:** LosslessCut-style controls, keyboard-driven workflow
+
+#### Update `main.go` showPlayerView (lines 555-800)
+
+**Layout:**
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  Video Display (ffplay window)  960x540     │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  [Timeline with keyframe markers]           │
+│  [====|==|====I====|==O====|===]            │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  Frame: 1234 / 15000  Time: 0:41.400        │
+│  [<<KF] [<Frame] [Play] [Frame>] [KF>>]     │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  [Set In] [Set Out] [Clear] [Export Cut]    │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Components:**
+```go
+// Frame counter (updates every 100ms when playing)
+frameLabel := widget.NewLabel("Frame: 0 / 0")
+timeLabel := widget.NewLabel("Time: 0:00.000")
+
+// Frame navigation buttons
+btnPrevKF := widget.NewButton("<<", func() {
+    // Jump to previous keyframe
+    kf := s.keyframeIndex.FindNearestKeyframe(currentPos, "before")
+    s.player.Seek(kf.Timestamp)
+})
+
+btnPrevFrame := widget.NewButton("<", func() {
+    // Step back 1 frame
+    s.player.StepFrame(-1)
+})
+
+btnNextFrame := widget.NewButton(">", func() {
+    // Step forward 1 frame
+    s.player.StepFrame(1)
+})
+
+btnNextKF := widget.NewButton(">>", func() {
+    // Jump to next keyframe
+    kf := s.keyframeIndex.FindNearestKeyframe(currentPos, "after")
+    s.player.Seek(kf.Timestamp)
+})
+
+// In/Out controls
+btnSetIn := widget.NewButton("Set In [I]", func() {
+    s.cutInPoint = currentPosition
+    timelineWidget.SetInPoint(s.cutInPoint)
+})
+
+btnSetOut := widget.NewButton("Set Out [O]", func() {
+    s.cutOutPoint = currentPosition
+    timelineWidget.SetOutPoint(s.cutOutPoint)
+})
+
+btnClear := widget.NewButton("Clear [X]", func() {
+    s.cutInPoint = nil
+    s.cutOutPoint = nil
+    timelineWidget.ClearPoints()
+})
+```
+
+**Keyboard Shortcuts:**
+```go
+canvas.SetOnTypedKey(func(ke *fyne.KeyEvent) {
+    switch ke.Name {
+    case fyne.KeySpace:
+        togglePlayPause()
+    case fyne.KeyLeft:
+        if ke.Modifier&fyne.KeyModifierShift != 0 {
+            jumpToPreviousKeyframe()
+        } else {
+            stepBackOneFrame()
+        }
+    case fyne.KeyRight:
+        if ke.Modifier&fyne.KeyModifierShift != 0 {
+            jumpToNextKeyframe()
+        } else {
+            stepForwardOneFrame()
+        }
+    case fyne.KeyI:
+        setInPoint()
+    case fyne.KeyO:
+        setOutPoint()
+    case fyne.KeyX:
+        clearInOutPoints()
+    case fyne.KeyE:
+        exportCut()
+    }
+})
+```
+
+**Memory Impact:** +2KB for UI components
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: Lossless Cut Export
+**Goal:** Fast, zero-quality-loss cutting using FFmpeg stream copy
+
+#### Create `internal/cut/export.go`
+
+**Core Functionality:**
+```go
+package cut
+
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "os/exec"
+    "git.leaktechnologies.dev/stu/VT_Player/internal/keyframe"
+)
+
+// ExportOptions configures export
+type ExportOptions struct {
+    InputPath  string
+    OutputPath string
+    InTime     float64
+    OutTime    float64
+    AutoSnap   bool // Snap in-point to nearest keyframe
+}
+
+// Export performs lossless cut
+func Export(opts ExportOptions, idx *keyframe.Index,
+            progress func(float64)) error {
+
+    inTime := opts.InTime
+    outTime := opts.OutTime
+
+    // Validate/snap in-point to keyframe
+    if opts.AutoSnap {
+        kf := idx.FindNearestKeyframe(inTime, "before")
+        if kf != nil && math.Abs(kf.Timestamp-inTime) > 0.1 {
+            inTime = kf.Timestamp
+        }
+    }
+
+    // FFmpeg stream copy (no re-encoding)
+    args := []string{
+        "-hide_banner",
+        "-loglevel", "error",
+        "-progress", "pipe:1",  // Progress reporting
+        "-i", opts.InputPath,
+        "-ss", fmt.Sprintf("%.6f", inTime),
+        "-to", fmt.Sprintf("%.6f", outTime),
+        "-c", "copy",  // Stream copy = lossless
+        "-avoid_negative_ts", "make_zero",
+        "-y",  // Overwrite
+        opts.OutputPath,
+    }
+
+    cmd := exec.Command("ffmpeg", args...)
+
+    // Parse progress output
+    // Call progress(percentage) callback
+
+    return cmd.Run()
+}
+
+// Validate checks if cut points are valid
+func Validate(inTime, outTime float64, idx *keyframe.Index) error {
+    // Check if in-point is close to a keyframe
+    kf := idx.FindNearestKeyframe(inTime, "nearest")
+    if kf == nil {
+        return fmt.Errorf("no keyframes found")
+    }
+
+    diff := math.Abs(kf.Timestamp - inTime)
+    if diff > 0.5 {
+        return fmt.Errorf("in-point not near keyframe (%.2fs away)", diff)
+    }
+
+    if outTime <= inTime {
+        return fmt.Errorf("out-point must be after in-point")
+    }
+
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+**Export UI Integration:**
+```go
+exportBtn := widget.NewButton("Export Cut [E]", func() {
+    if s.cutInPoint == nil || s.cutOutPoint == nil {
+        dialog.ShowError(errors.New("Set in/out points first"), s.window)
+        return
+    }
+
+    // Validate
+    err := cut.Validate(*s.cutInPoint, *s.cutOutPoint, s.keyframeIndex)
+    if err != nil {
+        // Show error with option to auto-snap
+        dialog.ShowConfirm(
+            "Invalid Cut Point",
+            fmt.Sprintf("%v\n\nSnap to nearest keyframe?", err),
+            func(snap bool) {
+                if snap {
+                    // Auto-snap and retry
+                    performExport(true)
+                }
+            },
+            s.window,
+        )
+        return
+    }
+
+    // Show save dialog
+    dialog.ShowFileSave(func(uc fyne.URIWriteCloser, err error) {
+        if err != nil || uc == nil {
+            return
+        }
+        outputPath := uc.URI().Path()
+        uc.Close()
+
+        // Export with progress
+        performExport(false)
+    }, s.window)
+})
+
+func performExport(autoSnap bool) {
+    // Show progress dialog
+    progress := widget.NewProgressBar()
+    dlg := dialog.NewCustom("Exporting...", "Cancel", progress, s.window)
+    dlg.Show()
+
+    go func() {
+        err := cut.Export(cut.ExportOptions{
+            InputPath:  s.source.Path,
+            OutputPath: outputPath,
+            InTime:     *s.cutInPoint,
+            OutTime:    *s.cutOutPoint,
+            AutoSnap:   autoSnap,
+        }, s.keyframeIndex, func(pct float64) {
+            progress.SetValue(pct)
+        })
+
+        dlg.Hide()
+
+        if err != nil {
+            dialog.ShowError(err, s.window)
+        } else {
+            dialog.ShowInformation("Success", "Cut exported", s.window)
+        }
+    }()
+}
+```
+
+**Performance:**
+- Export speed: Real-time (1-hour video exports in ~30 seconds)
+- No quality loss (bit-perfect copy)
+- Memory usage: <50MB during export
+
+---
+
+## Performance Optimizations
+
+### Keyframe Detection
+```go
+// 1. Parallel processing for multiple videos
+var wg sync.WaitGroup
+for _, video := range videos {
+    wg.Add(1)
+    go func(v string) {
+        defer wg.Done()
+        DetectKeyframes(v)
+    }(video)
+}
+
+// 2. Incremental loading: Show UI before detection completes
+go func() {
+    idx, err := DetectKeyframes(videoPath)
+    // Update UI when ready
+    timeline.SetKeyframes(idx.Keyframes)
+}()
+
+// 3. Cache aggressively
+cacheKey := fmt.Sprintf("%s-%d", videoPath, fileInfo.ModTime().Unix())
+if cached := loadFromCache(cacheKey); cached != nil {
+    return cached
+}
+```
+
+### Memory Management
+```go
+// 1. Sparse keyframe storage (I-frames only)
+// 1-hour video: ~180KB vs 10MB for all frames
+
+// 2. Limit cached indices
+const maxCachedIndices = 10
+if len(indexCache) > maxCachedIndices {
+    // Remove oldest
+    delete(indexCache, oldestKey)
+}
+
+// 3. Timeline rendering: Canvas reuse
+// Don't recreate canvas objects, update positions only
+```
+
+### UI Responsiveness
+```go
+// 1. Debounce position updates
+var updateTimer *time.Timer
+func updatePosition(pos float64) {
+    if updateTimer != nil {
+        updateTimer.Stop()
+    }
+    updateTimer = time.AfterFunc(50*time.Millisecond, func() {
+        frameLabel.SetText(formatFrame(pos))
+    })
+}
+
+// 2. Background goroutines for heavy operations
+go detectKeyframes()
+go exportCut()
+// Never block UI thread
+
+// 3. Efficient timeline redraw
+// Only redraw scrubber, not entire timeline
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Performance Benchmarks
+```bash
+# Target: Competitive with LosslessCut
+# Keyframe detection: <5s for 1-hour video
+# Frame stepping: <50ms response
+# Export: Real-time speed (1x)
+# Memory: <100MB total (including ffplay)
+
+# Test suite:
+go test ./internal/keyframe -bench=. -benchtime=10s
+go test ./internal/cut -bench=. -benchtime=10s
+```
+
+### Test Videos
+```bash
+# 1. Generate test video with known keyframe intervals
+ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=60:size=1280x720:rate=30 \
+       -c:v libx264 -g 60 -keyint_min 60 \
+       test_2s_keyframes.mp4
+
+# 2. Various formats
+# - H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1
+# - Different GOP sizes
+# - Variable framerate
+```
+
+### Validation
+```bash
+# Verify cut accuracy
+ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration \
+        -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 cut_output.mp4
+
+# Verify no re-encoding (check codec)
+ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 \
+        -show_entries stream=codec_name cut_output.mp4
+# Should match original codec exactly
+```
