Is your feature request related to a usage problem (not a bug)? Please describe.
Please describe clear and concise of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

Right now, all external players have to be hard coded into Freetube to be supported. This is fine, but there are users that want to use lesser known players with Freetube that might not be worth the effort of hard coding.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented
Please give a clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

To add an advanced option in the external player options with that would let a user complete the fields in external-player-map.json. A user could write the command arguments for playlists, offsets, playback, etc for the player in each proper field according to the mapping that Freetube uses.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Are there other ways to solve the problem? Please give a clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you might have considered.

What has been done so far, hard coding it. For some cases (like iina) it might be unavoidable.

We support many external players since this was initially opened. To my knowledge it has been years since a request came in to support a player so i think this isnt really needed anymore
