New Features
Background probing for Live streams with configurable interval; new input options to trigger probing and toggle background resolution.
Configuration Changes
metadata_update reorganized into grouped sections: log, resolve, probe, ffprobe, tmdb.
FFprobe controls moved under ffprobe.* and now require explicit time/size units; new live ffprobe settings.
Added metadata_update.tmdb.cooldown (default 7d) and grouped TMDB settings.
Bug Fixes
TMDB no-match cooldown to prevent endless requeues.
Documentation
README and UI help updated to reflect grouped metadata_update fields and explanations.
fix: set input.options defaults if input.options is none and normalize missing /live prefix for hls streams
fix: document defensive options guard in config input prepare
fix: group configinputoptions methods in one impl
fix: document fallback semantics for configinput _or flag helpers
fix: restore false fallback for missing options in flag checks
Fixed m3u playlist with provider_config persistence as text file
Added probe_delay input option (default 2s); stream probing renamed “Stream Probing” and now covers live, VOD and series as a low‑priority background task.
Schedule Local library scan
New Features
Scheduler now supports Local Library scans alongside playlist updates; schedules can trigger either task type.
Each schedule can specify a Type: PlaylistUpdate or LibraryScan (defaults to PlaylistUpdate).
UI
Schedule editor: new Type selector and TYPE column; Targets field shown only for PlaylistUpdate.

**Description:**
This PR introduces a major overhaul of how streams are analyzed and connections are managed. It integrates `ffprobe` for deep stream analysis, adds a background task queue for metadata resolution to prevent UI blocking, introduces a connection priority system, and adds support for Live TV probing.
### 🚀 Key Features
* **FFprobe Integration & Live TV Probing**:
* Automatically probes streams (VOD/Series **and now Live TV**) to determine resolution, codecs (HEVC/AV1), dynamic range (HDR/DV), bit depth, and audio channels.
* **Safe Probing**: Probing strictly respects the provider's `max_connections` limit.
* Docker images now include static `ffmpeg/ffprobe` binaries.
* **Smart Connection Management (Priority System)**:
* Introduced a priority system for connections to manage provider limits intelligently.
* **Preemption**: Users with higher priority can preempt (kick) lower priority connections when provider slots are full.
* **Background Queue**: Metadata resolution and stream analysis run as background tasks (Priority 0). They only run when connection slots are idle and yield immediately if a real user needs to stream.
* **Enhanced Metadata Resolution**:
* **Fallback Logic**: If a provider is missing the TMDB ID or Release Date, the system resolves them via the TMDB API.
* **Smart Title Cleaning**: Implemented a centralized cleaner to strip common IPTV prefixes before attempting metadata matches or generating filenames, significantly improving match rates.
* **Improved Output**:
* **Quality Tags**: Filenames in STRM files now include detailed tags (e.g., `Movie - [4K HEVC HDR].strm`).
* **Flat Grouping**: `flat: true` now correctly groups multi-version movies into single folders based on TMDB ID.
* **Global Series Date**: Ensures consistent series folder naming even if episodes have different years.
