OwnTV v4.1.7

✨ New features

• 📐 Panel Width Adjustment — set how wide the categories, list and preview panels are
• 🔊 Surround sound rebuilt — Auto, Stereo only, Surround, and it can no longer leave you in silence
• ⏱️ Live latency really changes the buffer now — and a new Pre-buffer control, per playlist
• 🎞️ Auto frame rate works out the frame rate by itself — and offers itself when 25 fps judders
• 🗓️ Guide time offset — for a guide that is hours out, globally or for one channel
• 🎧 Sound behaves like a TV app now — and the remote's transport keys work
• 🩺 Diagnostics you can actually send
• 🧩 M3U playlists: per-item headers, and catch-up that actually builds a URL
