Native Usenet & NNTP Streaming Playback

nzbUrl) from Stremio addons with zero external daemon requirements. - Dynamic Connection Scaling: Scales up to 100 parallel connections, intelligently adapting to what your Usenet provider accepts.
- Decoupled 4-Second Read-Ahead Buffer: Optimized read-ahead buffer decoupled from connection speed caps, preventing stream stalls during high-bitrate scenes.
- Instant Non-Thrashing Seeks: Eliminated connection thrashing and superfluous preview reads during scrub and seek operations for near-instant seek response.
Calendar Tab & Follows Integration
- Dedicated Calendar Tab: Added new Calendar tab (
TVTab.calendar) displaying upcoming episodes, seasons, and movie release schedules. - Merged Follows Model: Merged manual and automatic follow tracking into a unified calendar feed with quick navigation to Details.

- AetherEngine 7.51.0 Upgrade: Upgraded core playback engine with enhanced stability, lifecycle handling, and Apple required-reason privacy manifest declarations (
PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy). - Audio Shaping & Dialogue Lift: Added dynamic audio shaping support — fold to at most N channels, boost dialogue (centre/mid signal) up to +12 dB, and dynamic range night compression (
night) with -1 dBFS peak limiting. - Sidecar Bitmap Streaming (.sup): Packetized streaming drainage for PGS sidecar subtitles, eliminating memory spikes on film-length tracks.

Known issues
- Picture in Picture requires a supported Apple TV 4K / tvOS 15+ device.
- Physical Apple TV playback, HDMI/HDR/Dolby Vision, AirPlay receivers, Atmos hardware, and live-TV paths still need real-device validation; the Apple TV Simulator cannot play AV1.
