The Plex server already applies all preference levels (account,
show/season, per-item) into stream `selected` flags. Remove redundant
client-side subtitleMode/account prefs logic and show/season metadata
fetching (2 fewer API calls per episode).
Prevents ANR when Dio's responseDecoder synchronously decodes large API
responses on the main thread. Responses >50KB use compute(). Also caches
MediaCodecList query results in ExoPlayerCore companion object.
Increase native retries 3→5 and add app-level auto-retry (3 rounds,
30s delay) so large downloads that fail with "unexpected end of stream"
recover automatically. 404s fail immediately without retry.
Adds a user-facing toggle for MediaCodec tunneling (Android/ExoPlayer)
and a rendered-frame watchdog that auto-falls back to MPV when ExoPlayer
produces 0 video frames after 8 seconds of audio playback.
Connection probe requests in testConnectionWithLatency were sent without
X-Plex-Client-Identifier, X-Plex-Product, or X-Plex-Device-Name headers.
Plex treated each anonymous probe as a new unknown device and fired a
"New Device" notification for every server tested (one per shared/owned
server), while displaying "Flutter" as the device name from the HTTP
user-agent.
Pass clientIdentifier through findBestWorkingConnection and all connection
test helpers so every probe request identifies itself as "Plezy" with the
persistent client UUID. This prevents spurious notifications and ensures
the device shows the correct app name in Plex's device list.
