New Features

Media & Playback

• Cross-Server Content Playback - Unified library support allowing seamless playback from multiple Jellyfin servers

• Seamless switching between servers for content playback
  • Local Watchlist Functionality - Complete local watchlist implementation with full UI integration for managing your favorite content
• Note: The Watch List row is disabled by default. To enable it:
  1. Go to Settings
  2. Navigate to Home preferences
  3. Find Home Rows or Home Sections configuration
  4. Enable the Watch List row and optionally reorder it
• Once enabled, you'll see:
  • A "Watch List" row on the home screen
  • "Add to Watch List" / "Remove from Watch List" button on detail pages
• The watchlist is stored locally on the device (not synced to the server), so items persist across app restarts but won't appear on other devices or in the web interface
  • Audio Delay Control - Added audio delay functionality with dedicated controller and processor for perfect audio/video synchronization
  • Theme Music Playback Options - Theme music now available for home rows with customizable settings (#84)
  • Recently Released Home Row - New home row displaying recently released content sorted by premiere date (#65) (disabled by default)
  • Default Subtitles to None - Option to ignore server subtitle settings and default to no subtitles

Security & Access Control

• Parental Controls - Rating-based content filtering system to restrict content by age ratings

Visual Experience

• Seasonal Surprise Animations - Added animated seasonal themes for winter, spring, summer, fall, and Halloween (more to come soon with improvements)

UI/UX Improvements

Home Screen Customization

• New Home Rows Settings Configuration - D-pad controls for customizing and managing home screen sections
• Home Rows Image Type Setting - Configurable image types for home row displays
• Media Bar Toggle - Refactored media bar functionality with new toggle setting for easier control instead of being part of the home rows and implemented content type filtering (movies/TV/both)

Layout & Spacing

• Card Spacing Improvements - Updated dimensions for improved visual layout (#69)
