Minor update to PVR Handling:

1.266

Update to Version 1.266

Latest updates bring dpi awareness and scaling and customisable sizing for all screens.
(enables complete customisation at any screen size)

• DPI Aware/Scales properly
• ALL Size - slider for changing the size of everything
• Kodi remote: If fanart entry is blank will use the thumbnail (can add setting to turn on/off - but looks better than default in my testing)

What are these changes do you say?

The Below ALL Size slider changes the interior Scaling of Frontview - ever screen's scaling is changed.

This allows you to have tiny tiny text and huge artwork or huge text, obscuring most of the artwork:

For example : (All these screen sizes are at 1024x768)

Lets make the screen as tiny as possible:
(the setting screen updates immediately to new size)

& All other screens are also resized:
Now Playing screen: (again all screen sizes are 1024x768)

And if we turn up ALL Size to maximum (we lose some of the settings screen...)

Now Playing screen: (again all screen sizes are 1024x768)

All screens change including - Movie/TV and Time/Weather starting screen:

Other Changes:
Update to Kodi Krypton remote - uses Thumb image for Fanart if blank/empty/does not exist
Some better emby remote checks for null
Music NowPlaying Screen now resizes/title/text settings apply.
Main Music NowPlaying title is song title - album and artist moved/resizable
Other bug fixes

1.265

Add further Music NowPlaying changes - Main title now Song Title

Add ALL Size Slider to display Settings
This overrides everything and increases the interior size of Frontview within every screen
Want to have tiny text and large images - minimise this
Want to have super large text and crowded images - maximise this.
Setting with settings.xml of EverythingSIZE 1.0 default if issues.

Along with other settings - allows maximum fine-tuning over display settings to fit every display size/screen size/resolution/desire.
