ShelfPlayer 3.2.0 (Offline fixes)

[rasmuslos]

ShelfPlayer 3.2.0 will include bug fixes and minor improvements. The goal is to fix the current offline and progress issues.

ToDo:

• Offline mode outside of UI
• Offline mode in network client
• Update item & image resolver
• Update listen now
• Update progress sync
• Update navigation
• Update progress reporting
• Update widgets
• New CarPlay app with offline mode
• Check new up resolving
• iPadOS

This has the following visible benefits:

• API request scheduling (ShelfPlayer triggers Fail2ban bans via Nginx (multiple 401 errors on Audiobookshelf API endpoints from iOS) #360)
• Faster image loading
• Working offline mode

Other improvements:

(things I did when I had had enough of "backend" logic)

• Improved image color extraction
• Episode chapter extraction
• Liquid Glass design updates (lists, toolbars, ...)

What does this mean

I am posting this because updating all of these components will take some more time. I am optimistic that I am finished with the navigation soon. The widgets are not functional right now and CarPlay still does not work offline but the new offline mode itself should. I may release an early build as a public TestFlight beta until I am finished, depending on the time I have at my disposal.

Check out how it is going here: v3.1.4...main

Any chance after this we could see a watchOS app similar to prologue? He did an IAP for support which is reasonable I think.

I want to polish the iOS / iPadOS version until there really is nothing more do to (hopefully). Then I will look into expanding onto other platforms, because I can reuse the backend logic, and focus on the frontend. But this will take a long time...
