K7 v1.7.5

Highlights

• More Direct Play: many files that used to remux or transcode now open as-is (wider container/codec catalog, including ffprobe aliases). On Android/iOS/Mac you also change audio and subtitles in the file, without starting an HLS session.
• Smoother remux: copy-to-fMP4 no longer micro-freezes between windows or on rewind/seek into already-written segments. FFmpeg runs to the end of the file and stays up when the requested segment is already covered. Timestamps and open-GOP sync no longer hitch the picture.
• Video.js clients: web and Windows still remux/encode video (Video.js cannot switch muxed tracks due to browser limitations), so audio/sub menus keep working.

Fun fact, we did hit 100 stars today! ⭐ (thank you)
