⚠️ Limitations & Things to Watch

• 🚫 Autoplay restrictions — Because of modern browser policies, autoplay might not work reliably (especially on mobile or when user hasn’t interacted).
• 🐌 Performance with large playlists — Big playlists may slow down loading or cause lag, especially on less powerful devices.
• 🔐 Updates & security — As with any plugin, make sure you have version with latest patches to address any security vulnerabilities.
