BitChord TV & Mobile v1.9.1 — Upstream Rebase, Streamlined Settings & Verified Lossless Addons

🌟 What's New in this Release:

1. Rebase on Upstream v1.9.1 Base

• Full synchronization with the official BitChord v1.9.1 core updates:
  • Addon security upgrades & authentication (bitchordAuth).
  • Improved song matching and duration probe algorithms.
  • Upstream TV build fixes and UI enhancements.
  • Multi-language localization and content preference options.

2. Verified High-Speed Lossless & Hi-Res Addons

• Purged dead and suspended third-party addon endpoints.
• Preconfigured with the latest active, ultra-fast lossless providers out of the box:
  1. Qobuz [Heisenbergg]: https://heisenbergbackaaahh.de.deplexo.com/a/manifest.json (24-bit Hi-Res & Lossless FLAC)
  2. Eljohnzc Addon Deezer: https://eljohnzc-addon-deezer.de.deplexo.com/manifest.json (Lossless CD Quality & High 320kbps)
  3. Confih Hi-Res: https://bitchord.confih.tech/manifest.json (Hi-Res / Lossless Multi-Tier)
  4. BluBit Station Hi-Fi: https://bluebit.jucepe0929.workers.dev/manifest.json (Hi-Fi Tidal & Deezer mirror)

3. TV Settings De-Cluttering & Simplification

• Removed Duplicate Artwork Priority: Consolidated redundant "Motion Art Source" and "Artwork Priority" toggles into one clean setting.
• Smart Dynamic Crossfade: Automatically hides/disables fixed-second crossfade when tempo-aware Automix is active, preventing conflicting mental models and audio artifacts.
• Removed Manual Thumbnail Toggle: Upgraded to an automatic high-res cascade (Apple Music 3000x3000 & Spotify Canvas prioritized first; graceful fallback so album covers are never blank).

4. Hardware Bit-Perfect Passthrough & Stream Selection

• Direct hardware AudioTrack passthrough for TV soundbars and AVRs (Dolby Atmos & up to 24/192 bit-perfect PCM).
• On-demand "Upgrade Hi-Fi" pill on TV transport controls to re-query lossless providers anytime.
• Seamless lookahead caching and queue pre-resolution so tracks start instantly without buffering gaps.
• Full fuzzy metadata normalization (handles artist credits, VEVO channel prefixes, and composer vs vocalist discrepancies).
