## Description
Overhauls the genre cards for Movies & TV Show libraries.
Now the cards use a semi-transparent, consistent, generated color using
the same logic as in #478. And a random item from the library with that
genre is show in the background. This is heavily inspired from Plex.
If there are not applicable items for the genre, then just the colored
card is shown.

## Description
This PR adds a background dimming effect behind the playback controls to
fix readability issues against bright video content. It implements a
full-screen vertical gradient that ensures white text and buttons remain
legible.
I added a vertical gradient fading from transparent at the top to ~95%
black at the bottom which adds contrast for UI elements without
obscuring the center of the video.

There's no user facing changes in this PR
This PR updates `MpvPlayer` to use a threading model more similar to
[ExoPlayer's
model](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/media3/exoplayer/ExoPlayer#threading-model).
There's now a dedicated thread looper message queue between the UI
interactions on the main thread and calls to `libmpv`. This is necessary
because previously, the main thread would make the calls into `libmpv`.
`libmpv` uses internal mutex locking for some operations which meant
that the main thread would be blocked momentarily.
Now, the UI issues a command (eg seek to X position) and the command is
added to the thread looper queue and processed on that separate thread.
This uses the standard Android Handler/Looper mechanisms.

## Description
Creates a `CompositionLocal` which tracks the current time in a single
place and is usable anywhere in the app.
Can be used such as:
```kotlin
val now = LocalClock.current.now
val details = remember(item, now) {
// Create detail strings based the item and current time
// This will be recomposed/updated whenever the time changes
}
```

- Switch to tv.material3.Button with ButtonDefaults for better styling
- Add opacity changes based on focus (0.85f focused, 0.2f unfocused)
- Keep selected letter fully visible when picker is unfocused
- Reduce button size from 24.dp to 14.dp to fit all letters
- Reduce spacing between letters (1.1.dp vertical, 2.dp horizontal)
- Use transparent backgrounds for unfocused letters
- Use border color for selected letter when focused, tertiary when
unfocused
- Add Box with CircleShape clip to prevent focus indicator overflow
- Reduce font size by 15%
- Add 16.dp end padding to push picker away from screen edge
When using the 'Show details' view option, the alphabet picker will
still overflow the bottom edge of the screen. I find this an acceptable
option though, as the backdrop pushes the card grid further down the
page.

## Description
This PR adjust the logic for audio & subtitle track selection for TV
series. Instead of only saving for future episodes if the newly selected
track is a different language than the user's preferred, always save it.
Basically this means if you change the audio or subtitle language for an
episode, the same audio or subtitle language will be used for future
episodes (if available).
Also, fixes the "default" subtitle mode to take the user's preferred
language into consideration.
## Issues

**This is for MPV playback backend only!** Since this only works in MPV
for now, the option is not shown if using ExoPlayer.
Adds a setting (the gear icon during playback) to adjust the subtitle
delay.
A negative delay shows subtitles sooner. A positive delay shows them
later. For example, if a subtitle is supposed to show between
1000ms-2000ms, a negative 250ms delay will show it at 750ms-1750ms
instead.
The delay is persisted between plays of the same media & subtitle track.
Ref: #12
Moves the clipping of trickplay images from the image loading layer to
the composition/graphics layer.
Effectively, this PR loads and renders the entire trickplay image which
is then moved around to the right position and finally is clipped so
only a single tile is shown. Since moving the image around on screen
plsu clipping is 1) very fast and 2) done during recompositions, this
means it is _much_ faster at rendering each trickplay tile image and
Coil only has to load the image once.
Fixes#432
Use the SDK to get the device name since it handles older Android
versions and has a fallback.
This should not change the device ID or name if the device was working
before this change.

On the home page or any grid, if focused on a "playable" item (movie,
episode, etc), pressing the Play or Play-Pause button on the remote will
immediately start playback.
Dev note: Also guards against an edge case where an item passed into
playback doesn't have media sources due to more limited item fields in
the query.
This only applies if the user has set a preferred audio and/or subtitle
language on the web UI!
If the user chooses an audio/subtitle track that is a different language
than their preferred, it will be remembered for that series. Playback of
future episodes of the series will pick a matching language.
The audio & subtitle selections are independent. You can make the choice
before playback or during playback.
Closes#378
- Semi-bold the movies or series title on the details pages to match
home page
- Shows total subtitle track count if subtitles disabled
- Remove the springy animations from the play/watch/favorite/more
buttons
- Go back a page when playback finishes and there's nothing left in the
queue
Closes#393
Unfortunately, I think the PIN and automatic sign-in features require
more thought before it should be rolled out as a stable feature.
This PR disables the two settings and removes them from the UI.
See discussions in #321 and will reopen#268
Adds an advanced playback setting to enable automatic refresh rate
switching during playback
When enabled, the app looks at the available display modes, chooses the
best candidate, and attempts to switch to it. After playback ends, the
display is switched back to the original mode.
Closes#62Closes#379
Better handling for combining continue/next-up by considering the
premiere date of the episode. So episodes will use the previously
watched one's last played date or the episode's premiere date, whichever
is newer.
This means when a new season comes out or the show returns from a break,
the new episodes will show earlier in the list like the next up rows
shows when not combined.
Fixes#377
Adds a new button implementation which allows for icon buttons to be
circular. Overall the buttons are reduced in size.
Also, the playback controls are are reduced in size, buttons are smaller
and vertical padding is reduced.
Adds a settings allowing for adjusting the thickness of unstyled
subtitle outlines, if outline is enabled.
This is applied for both ExoPlayer & MPV
Closes#179
Dev note: the ExoPlayer implementation is bad code, don't write code
like this. It works though
- Fixes a crash if the same person has multiple roles in an item
- Better tab focus behavior, especially on series pages
- Use consistent series production years on all pages
- Slightly decrease size and increase space on home page
Allows for setting a per-user profile PIN that must be entered to switch
to the user. The PIN is a sequence of directional buttons, ie D-Pad
left/right/up/down.
This PIN is per device per user per server. The PIN is stored locally
and not sent nor shared with the server. If you forget your PIN, can
still access the app using server credentials which also removes the
PIN.
Additionally, there is another setting to disable automatically sign in.
When enabled (default) the last user is automatically restored, even if
there is a PIN. If disabled, a server & user must always be selected
when opening the app.
Closes#268Closes#321
## Details
Adds options to customize how grid pages are displayed. Every grid page
can be individually customized.
The options are saved per user on the device and restored when
navigating back to the page. The pages that support it have a new button
next to the sort/filter buttons and changes are updated live.
The options are:
* Primary or Thumb image
* Aspect ratio
* Show details header w/ backdrop (similar to the one on the home page)
* Number of columns
* Spacing between cards
* Card image content scale (eg Fit, Fill, Crop, etc)
Note: the Genre tabs' grids cannot be customized yet
### Other changes
- Nav drawer now opens over top of content instead of pushing it
- Images for most cards are fetched with actual fill size
### Possible future work
* Customize Genre grids
* Add more image types, banners?
* Add similar customization options to pages with rows, eg Home page and
Recommended tabs
## Example
For example, this is a movie library using thumb images with 8 columns
and reduced spacing. It also shows the details header

Also create the device direct play profile lazily-ish off of the main
thread because this can take some time to create.
Should help address some of the "too much work" reported in #363, and
also fixes the network-on-main exception in the logs on #363
## Details
This PR contains a number of optimizations
### Images
Updates to request images with maximum sizes
The max sizes are estimates on the maximum number of pixels that will be
actually displayed. This means the server is downscaling large images
which means 1) better quality downscaling and 2) smaller images sent
over the network and cached
This should mean slightly better quality images and more images that can
be cached locally
### Paging
Reduces network calls when fetching paginated data, ie grid pages and
some rows. This PR combines the total record count & first page queries
which slightly reduces total time to load paginated data.
Additionally, on movies/tv show recommended pages, the rows now only
fetch a limited number of items (same as number on home page). While
they previously fetched using pagination, there is an overhead required
to paginate requests, so this is slightly faster.
### Async recommended fetching
On movies/tv show recommended pages, the rows are now fetched completely
separately from each other. Previously, the rows were requested
separtely, but each was only added to the UI in order as each completed.
Now they will add as the data arrived.
Note: Top unwatched TV shows is still very slow on `10.11.x`, see #204
### Image cache
The local, on-disk image cache size is increased from 100mb to 200mb.
Combined with the smaller images, this covers about 1500-2000 poster
images, but will vary by server.
The cache size is now also configurable in advanced settings from 25mb
to 1000mb. Additionally, you can see how much of both the disk and
memory caches are in use.
