Dual-Mode Video Clip Export

Video clipping now features a dedicated dual-mode export sheet, giving you complete control over export speed and frame precision:

• Fast Lossless Cut: Instant keyframe extraction via native FFmpeg stream copying without re-encoding or quality loss.
• Frame-Accurate Hardware Transcoding: Millisecond-precise trimming for exact start and end frames with hardware acceleration.
• Redesigned Export Sheet: Interactive sheet featuring high-precision timestamp intervals, formatted duration badge, and one-tap mode selection.
• Automatic Media Library Indexing: Saved clips in Movies/REX Player are immediately indexed and ready to share or play.

✨ New Features

• Material 3 Expressive Connected Grouped Settings: Comprehensive UI refresh applying Material 3 Expressive connected grouped lists, polished cards, and rounded shapes across all preference screens.
• Responsive Adaptive Player Panels: Redesigned video settings, subtitle settings, and delay panels that adaptively dock as side sheets in landscape mode and bottom sheets in portrait mode.
• Jellyfin Remote Playback Target (Cast to REX): Cast media from Jellyfin directly to REX Player as a remote playback target via WebSocket Play with background keepalive service (#315). (Thanks @Crisp79!)

⚡ Performance & Optimizations

• Fluid Panel Animations: Removed outer container bounds distortion in player panels for smooth orientation switching and side-sheet transitions.

🐛 Stability & Bug Fixes
