Release 2.0.0.0: Overhaul

Hello everyone

This release is a massive reworking of the underlying player. The most prominent changes are:

• Custom GPU-accelerated decoder modules
  • Playback on browsers such as Firefox is now actually feasible
• Custom GPU-accelerated post processing passes
  • The same kind of concept as MPV shaders.
• Performance improvements
• Server-side client defaults
  • Accessible via the plugin's settings.

To install, add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alchemyyy/jellyfin-plugin-webgpu-player/main/manifest.json as a plugin repository (Dashboard > Plugins), then install WebGPU Player from the catalog.
