Warning

This is still a work-in-progress!

Description

Improves support for strm files

When loading the details of a media item that is backed by the strm file, the app will query the server as if playback for it is starting. This causes the server to probe the remote source.

After that, the details are updated. The play buttons are disabled during the process as well.

TODO

  • More testing
  • Add loading indicator while waiting for the server to get remote metadata?
  • Need to validate assumptions about missing MediaStream data
  • Need to check if any playback sessions need to be closed
  • ???

fyi: strm files can point to local files and isRemote will be false for them. (but they still need to be probed)
