This release contains the following new features/fixes:

---

Redesigned Media Queue

The queue is now completely managed by invidtui, with MPV being used only for playback. This change resulted in a big reduction in CPU usage, especially when loading large playlists.

• Shuffle mode is on-demand, with a focus on not playing the same item more than once in a single cycle.
• Media statuses (fetching/loading/playing) are shown for the currently selected item
• Dynamic audio/video switching of any item in the queue
• Media items are fetched from the selected instance, and can be reloaded as the instance is changed.

---

Media Fetcher

The new media fetcher will show statuses of each added media item, and allow for viewing any errors and performing reload/cancel actions on each or all media items being added.

---

Playlist/Player Improvements

Playlists are now downloaded faster, and are generated in the proper M3U8 format. The player also shows media statuses, as well as the buffering percentage of the current media.

Note that playlists may have to be regenerated/redownloaded if they were previously generated by older versions.
