Invidious now reports the actual resolution and doesn’t hardcode them anymore.
See: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4586
- Extended the list of possible resolutions in the StreamModel
- trigger videoLoadFailureHandler if no streams are available
- more logging for backend.bestPlayable

I added a new feature. When instances are not proxied, Yattee first checks the URL to make sure it is not a restricted video. Usually, music videos and sports content can only be played back by the same IP address that requested the URL in the first place. That is why some videos do not play when the proxy is disabled.
This approach has multiple advantages. First and foremost, It reduced the load on Invidious/Piped instances, since users can now directly access the videos without going through the instance, which might be severely bandwidth limited. Secondly, users don't need to manually turn on the proxy when they want to watch IP address bound content, since Yattee automatically proxies such content.
Furthermore, adding the proxy option allows mitigating some severe playback issues with invidious instances. Invidious by default returns proxied URLs for videos, and due to some bug in the Invidious proxy, scrubbing or continuing playback at a random timestamp can lead to severe wait times for the users.
This should fix numerous playback issues: #666, #626, #590, #585, #498, #457, #400
HLS: try matching the set resolution. This works okay with AVPlayer. With MPV it is hit and miss, most of the time MPV targets the highest available bitrate, instead of the set bitrate.
AVPlayer now supports higher resolution up to 1080p60.
This makes sure that HLS Streams can be compared with non HLS streams, otherwise HLS would have been the first selected since the maxResolution.value might have been higher then what could actually be the highest resolution served.
- The order of the formats can now be changed in the Quality Settings.
- sortingOrder is now part of QualitiyProfile.
- bestPlayable is now part of PlayerBackend.
- hls and stream aren't treated as unknown anymore.
