Back to Windows + Many Fixes 🪟

Beta 2 of V2023.11.0 is here!

Compared to beta 1, this release includes many features and fixes for subtitles. We added the ability for users to turn off downloading auto-generated subtitles, to ensure Parabolic only downloads truly translated ones. For users who continue to use auto-generated subtitles, we improved the way Parabolic looks for and downloads these auto-generated subtitles. With these new settings, we also improved the layout of the Preferences dialog to make it easier to find your options.

For WinUI, the installer was updated to setup python dependencies from within the installer instead of within the app itself. This leads to even faster startup times for the app!
