Implemented automatic retry logic with exponential backoff (2, 4, 6 seconds) when file loading fails in AVPlayerBackend. Retries up to 3 times before showing error to user. Retry state is properly reset on successful loads. This matches the retry implementation added to MPVBackend in commit b6df73f9.
This commit enables proper Now Playing Info Center integration on iOS, allowing video playback information to appear in Control Center and Lock Screen with working remote controls.
Key changes:
- Activate audio session on app launch with setCategory(.playback, mode: .moviePlayback) and setActive(true)
- Set up remote commands on first play() call instead of during app initialization to avoid claiming Now Playing slot prematurely
- Remove removeTarget(nil) calls that were claiming Now Playing without content
- Enable remote commands (play, pause, toggle, seek) explicitly and add proper target handlers
- Use backend.isPlaying instead of PlayerModel.isPlaying to avoid race conditions
- Include playback rate (1.0 for playing, 0.0 for paused) in Now Playing info
- Update Now Playing info on main queue for thread safety
- Update Now Playing when switching between backends
- Remove audio session deactivation from pause() and stop() methods
Note: This fix works for AVPlayer backend. MPV backend has fundamental incompatibility with iOS Now Playing system.
Remove incorrect safe area insets from offsetY calculation that was
causing unequal black bars (smaller top, larger bottom). Now properly
centers video with equal padding like AVPlayer backend.
Refactored glUpdate to use requestRedraw method for better control. Added needsRedraw flag to prevent redundant display calls. Enabled asynchronous drawing on VideoLayer for improved performance. Modified displayLinkCallback to only report swap without triggering display to avoid flooding the main thread.
Added guard check to return early if currentTime is nil in getTimeUpdates. Simplified optional unwrapping by using the guarded currentTime value throughout the method.
Added comprehensive nil checks for stream resolution values across PlayerBackend, QualityProfile, and PlayerQueue to prevent crashes when streams have missing resolution metadata. Also added backend nil checks in PlayerQueue.
Implemented automatic retry logic with exponential backoff (2, 4, 6 seconds) when file loading fails in MPVBackend. Retries up to 3 times before showing error to user. Retry state is properly reset on successful loads.
Add logging for video and audio asset URLs during stream filtering to help debug stream selection issues.

Add proper validation and fallback logic for audio track selection in MPV backend:
- Validate audio track index is within bounds before switching
- Handle streams without separate audio tracks (single asset streams)
- Reset selectedAudioTrackIndex if out of bounds
- Add fallback path for streams without audioTracks array

Currently, we have a hard-coded list of resolutions. Since Invidious reports the actual resolution of a stream and does not hard-code them to a fixed value anymore, resolutions that are not in the list won’t be handled, and the stream cannot be played back.
Instead of hard-coding even more resolutions (and inadvertently might not cover all), we revert the list back to a finite set of resolutions, the users can select from. All other resolutions are handled dynamically and compared to the existing set of defined resolutions when selecting the best stream for playback.

with #745 I left som testing changes in the PR that resulted in currentChapter index not being updated. This is fixed now.
Also, the ScrollViewReader waiter 0.5s before jumping to the current Chapter. So it is always drawn correctly.

Invidious now reports the actual resolution and doesn’t hardcode them anymore.
See: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4586
- Extended the list of possible resolutions in the StreamModel
- trigger videoLoadFailureHandler if no streams are available
- more logging for backend.bestPlayable

This should circumvent edge cases where videos are marked as watch when they failed to play back.

fixes#691
add `--initial-audio-sync=<yes|no>` to MPV settings. Might fix#690 but needs to be toggled by the user. We leave the standard settings.
Also added links to the icons on macOS.
New options for captions in `Settings-Player`:
- Always show captions
- Default language
User can now select whether they want to show captions automatically when the video starts, and select the language.
Captions selector now shows proper name -> `English (en)` instead of only `en`
