+ Implemented timestamps
* renamed `VideoInfoItem` to `VideoPreviewInfo`
* Moved streaming service-related classes into their own, new package: "services"
+ Added javadoc to some classes and methods (where functionality is known well enough to explain)
- De-duplicated common fields between `VideoInfo` and `VideoPreviewInfo` by moving them into a common superclass: `AbstractVideoInfo`
- Removed 2 methods in `PlayVideoActivity` which only call `super()`, and therefore are unnecessary: `onResume()` and `onPostCreate(Bundle)`
+ Added `VideoInfo(AbstractVideoInfo)` constructor
- to support converting `VideoPreviewInfo`s into `VideoInfo`s, to reuse scraped info (yet to be implemented)
* Made the Extractor class behave as a per-video object;
- most method return values are video-specific, so it makes sense (to me) to have Extractor be stateful.
- The only stateless methods are getVideoUrl(), getVideoId() and loadDecryptionCode(String)
* Implemented a constructor for YoutubeExtractor, which performs all initialisation work, such as fetching `Jsoup.Document`, and `playerArgs:JSONObject`
NewPipe
NewPipe: A free lightweight Youtube frontend for Android.
Description
NewPipe does not use any Google framework libraries, or the YouTube API. It only parses the website in order to gain the information it needs. Therefore this app can be used on devices without G-services installed. Also NewPipe does not store data on the YouTube website (no login), and it's free software.

Multi service support
Generally NewPipe is designed to not only support YouTube, but many more streaming services. However, right now NewPipe is not stable enough to support more than only YouTube. But if all works as planned, NewPipe will get such support by the version 2.0.
