🛠️ Bug fixes & Improvements:

- core:

  • integrate with `namida_sync` (https//github.com/010101-sans/namida_sync) thanks @010101-sans

  • improve downloading especially for unavailable videos - when downloading an unavailable video -> use cached versions if available, write info file to download location, set cache priority to `VIP` & show descriptive error message - fix/reduce lag when adding downloaded track to local library - fix ocasional tripled download tasks - improve info obtaining by merging all possible infos available

- perf:

  • most played tracks are now smoothly manipulated, instead of sorting after each addition - this also eliminates video lag the moment it counts the listen - also forced stricter reactive access for the listens map (so that ui refreshed only when needed)

  • app freeze while importing huge or multiple takeouts at once - and show progress for files parsing

  • improve all lists scrolling performance and fix lyrics view causing issues in floating window

- chore:

  • more sort options and show sorting info on cards for albums/artists/playlists/etc

  • improve sorting for albums/artists/genres - by having extra fallbacks

  • show "count/total" for filtering in pages (albums/playlists/etc) - mainly to make it clear that an album filter (single/normal) is applied - also replace duplicated playlists count with a create button in playlists page - fix inaccurate playlists search matching

  • improve hit box of position/duration text in player (to seek backwards/forwards)

  • add a menu button with some video options in fullscreen player - like (show endcards/show channel watermark/enable glow effect)

  • improve default color decision for a palette - no longer mix all palette, but instead only first few colors

  • ui tweaks - increase area of equalizer slider magnet & decrease area of video slider magnet in fullscreen

  • always fetch new info when opening video info dialog (views/likes/like status)
