NuvioForLinux v0.2.1

NuvioForLinux v0.2.1

A bug-fix release. The headline fix is the source list that would spin forever instead of
showing scraper results; the rest is fallout from the 0.2.0 feature drop.

Fixed

• Source/episode lists no longer hang forever. Scraper plugins run the JS engine — and
  block a thread for the whole of every HTTP request their code makes — on the CPU-sized
  Dispatchers.Default pool, which the player's stream fan-out also used. With several
  scrapers running at once (most likely at the end of an episode, when the auto-play search
  and a manually opened panel overlap) they could occupy every thread in that pool, including
  the one needed to publish results, and the panel span forever with nothing to show. Plugin
  execution and the player's stream loading now run on an elastic I/O pool instead.
• Plugin HTTP requests have a 20s deadline. The existing 60s plugin timeout could never fire
  during a blocking fetch, because a blocked thread never reaches a cancellation point.
• A single failing addon or scraper can no longer wedge the whole stream panel: sources are
  isolated from each other, each has a 45s deadline, and failures surface as an error on that
  source instead of leaving every other source stuck on "loading".
• The sleep timer no longer resumes playback. pause() was libVLC's toggle, so a timer
  firing on an already-paused video started it playing again.
• "After this episode" now actually disarms. It was consumed behind a condition that was
  never true by the time the episode ended, so it stayed armed and silently suppressed
  auto-play-next — with no toast — for the rest of the session.
• Quitting from the tray no longer loses your place. It called exitApplication()
  directly, skipping the watch-progress flush, MPRIS/Discord teardown and window-geometry save.
• Play/pause (spacebar, tray, MPRIS) after a video ends no longer acts on stale state.
• MPRIS Position advances while playing, and GetAll returns the real property set, so
  playerctl, waybar and other proxy-based clients see Nuvio's state instead of nothing.
• Discord Rich Presence now works in release builds. No application id was baked in, so
  every shipped .deb/AppImage had the feature silently inert. It also no longer gives up for
  the whole session after a run of failures (starting Nuvio before Discord used to kill it
  until restart), and the settings row reports an unconfigured id instead of appearing to work
  while doing nothing.
• The libVLC factory is released when it is retired, instead of leaking a native instance on
  every subtitle-appearance change.
