***Harbingers Player***

👁️‍🗨️ Live URL: https://harbingers-player.netlify.app
  - The raw url loads a random work.

  - Add a hash to go to a specific work (see `artworks.mjs`):
    Ex: https://harbingers-player.netlify.app/#ff-01

  - Add a "?provenance=N" query parameter to test provenance levels from 0-10.
    Ex: https://harbingers-player.netlify.app/?provenance=5#sanctum

⚙️ TODO
- [] Replace all black "webp" stills with stills that best represent each video.
- [] Communicate somehow with native Feral File website preloader to extend
     its duration OR design a preloader / spinner to go in front of the `webp` stills that now appear when each video is buffering.

📓 Video notes:
Using ffmpeg to extract the first frame of each video as a still:
- `ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "select=eq(n\,0)" output.webp`

Using ffmpeg to transcode a video into an mp4 container.
- `ffmpeg -i designer-baby.mov -crf 18 designer-baby.mp4`
