Changes
This adds a playback info button to the video player overlay that displays technical details about the currently playing media. When pressed, a popup appears showing the play method (Direct Play, Direct Stream, or Transcoding), container format, video stream details (codec, resolution, bitrate, HDR type), and audio stream details (codec, channels, bitrate, language). This is useful for troubleshooting playback issues and understanding how media is being delivered to the client.
The feature mirrors functionality already present in Jellyfin Web, Jellyfin Media Player, and the Jellyfin Android mobile app. The info button appears in the secondary actions row (bottom) of the playback controls, next to the existing Zoom button.
The implementation includes support for both the current video player and the new Compose-based video player.
