Switch the voice search button toggle to AnimatedVisibility with a
horizontal expand/shrink from the start, matching the pattern used
elsewhere (NavDrawer now-playing). Rename show_voice_search_button_on/off
to visible_ui/hidden_ui so the labels can be reused by other toggles.
Fixes#1396.
The else branch of `when (nextState)` in PlaybackController added a 32dp
Spacer that left empty space below the controls when there were no
chapters or queue.
Possible follow-up: Pentaphon's idea of a "similar items" row in that
empty slot. Happy to put up a separate PR if useful.
## Testing
Verified on an Android TV (1080p) AVD running API 34 by playing a movie
with no chapters and no next-up item. With the fix, the bottom of the
control overlay sits the expected 8dp from the screen edge (the existing
parent padding). Also rebuilt without the fix and compared back-to-back
to confirm the Spacer was the cause.
The CHAPTERS and QUEUE branches were not modified.

I used Claude to help identify the file containing the bug and to
suggest the fix. I reviewed the diff before committing.
Adds a toggle to SearchPreferences (`show_voice_search_button`,
default true) and a new entry in the search page's view options
dialog. When disabled, the voice search button is hidden from
the search row.
For existing users, an entry in AppUpgradeHandler sets the value
to true so the button stays visible after upgrade.
## Description
Adds a setting, Settings->Advanced->"Customize which ratings to
display", which allows for toggling parental, community, or critic
ratings to be displayed in the quick details.

This PR has some UI/UX updates for live tv epg/guide.
- Show program images, if provided by the EPG source
- Show channel name under logo
- Show & set favorite channels
- Adjusts the header to match the rest of the app (font, padding, etc)
Additionally, navigation around the guide has been rewritten. It is more
efficient and feels a bit more smooth to scroll around.

Fixes a small UI glitch when the subtitle label is too long, it would
slightly increase the high of the labels. This is especially noticeable
on series details if some episodes have the long label and some don't
because the episode row will bounce up and down a few pixels.
Also moves the labels closer together and changes "Disabled" to "None"
when subtitles are turned off.

Adds a card at the end of the rows on the home page and recommended tabs
to "View More" which goes to a grid of the items in the row.
The grid will endlessly scroll all of the available items except for a
few cases where the first 1000 are shown because the server does not
(yet) support pagination: genres, studios, people (added in v12), and
latest grouped tv shows.
Dev notes: This PR also rewrites the `RecommendedViewModel` and
consolidates the previous multiple view models into one.

Improves how search results are displayed:

Collections, surfacing the most commonly searched content types at the
top.
- Adds a new "Combined search results" preference in Advanced settings →
Search. When enabled, shows all results in a single list instead of
separate categories.
- When Seerr is active, adds Library/Discover tabs to switch between
local library results and Seerr discovery results.
- Hides empty result categories instead of showing "No results"

Code auditing and PR description drafting with Claude Code. Also used
Claude Code for the regex.
Fixed a bug with libass integration where the background thread
responsible for drawing the ASS subtitles (AssRenderThread) has been
shut down, but ExoPlayer is still actively running and trying to push
video time updates to it. Added fallback for software rendering on older
android versions that can have broken OpenGl implementation.This should
address much of issue #1049.
## Description
Essentially, debug logs showed repeated:
3145 3920 W MessageQueue: Handler (android.os.Handler) {4ba3c72} sending
message to a Handler on a dead thread
3145 3920 W MessageQueue: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Handler
(android.os.Handler) {4ba3c72} sending message to a Handler on a dead
thread
Essentially this was a lifecycle bug where the libass-android thread was
created, but was detaching from the window, shutting down when it does
so. It was still registered to ExoPlayer, but since there was no thread
to send to, it just repeatedly kept failing, never spinning back up to
display any subtitles. It seems just about any ui change can cause this
detachment, but in this case it seems it was right from the moment the
loading spinner shows up (making libass-android fail before video starts
playing).
Fixed by ensuring TextureView's visibility wasn't changed to invisible,
which ends up destroying the canvas that libass-android attaches itself
to. Hid the canvas using graphicsLayer (so the user can't see it, but
it's still alive and active). Also changed resizing logic to prevent
Android from seeing a 0x0 TextureView as "destroyed".
Since I discovered in testing how terribly my TV's OpenGl was handling
this, I added an additional fallback for Android versions < 9. Older
TV's can fallback to software rendering when using libass-android.
### Related issues
#### Issue #1049 :
**Fixes:**
- the issue where libass-android (when enabled) fails to load any
subtitles in ExoPlayer DirectPlay.
**Not Fixed from issue #1049 :**
- Issues around accented characters.
- Any issues surrounding MPV (I have no way of testing, MPV never worked
on any player for me)
- Fallback mode (libass-android disabled) where subtitles aren't
rendering properly
**Added:**
- While testing, discovered older Android versions have trouble with
reliable OpenGl rendering. Thus I added a fallback for older Android
versions to use libass-android in software rendering mode
(AssRenderType.OVERLAY_CANVAS)
### Testing
- Tested and confirmed flawlessly to work on Android 9 TCL Smart TV
(AssRenderType.OVERLAY_CANVAS)
- Tested on Android 14 Chromecast (AssRenderType.OVERLAY_OPEN_GL).
Slightly less perfect (font not always a match, less fancy shadows) but
most ASS/SSA effects work well. May be worth testing other AssRenderType
options to compare features and performance on other machines.

1. Fixes when moving from nav drawer to home page content, focus would
sometimes move up a row
2. Fixes when moving up/down between rows, focus would sometimes move to
the later card (usually the last visible)
The second above is fixed by downgrading `tv-material` to
`1.0.1-alpha01`. Switching to
[`1.0.1-beta01`](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/tv#tv-material-1.1.0-beta01)
or newer causes the bug. Not clear if its a bug in the library or
Wholphin though.

## Description
Directly use "Wholphin" when searching for older APKs to clean up.
On debug builds, the `app_name` string is "Wholphin (Debug)" but the APK
file names is always "Wholphin.apk", so I think the debug build won't
clean them up.
