Original PR: #16116

This merge request adds a persistent "queue" / playlist feature to the Nextcloud Media Player and implements a set of frequently requested playback behaviors and UI improvements:

  • Shuffle mode (randomize playback order)
  • Repeat modes (repeat one / repeat all / off)
  • Automatically play the next file when the current media ends (so folders with mixed content will behave as playlists containing only media files)
  • Automatic filtering to exclude non-media files when generating a playlist from a folder
  • Improved media player notification controls while the app is minimized (skip to next / previous, play/pause)
    The proposed implementation has been used in the HiDrive application for a long time.

Changes

Removes old media playback classes since new PlayerActivity and it's new dependencies responsible for playing music and video.

How to test?

  • Try to play audio file
  • Try to play downloaded audio file
  • Try to play video file
  • Try to play downloaded video file
  • Try to play video file press back and check PIP mode
  • From file list try to open any media file and swipe left or right video must be played with new player also images should be reachable
  • From media tab try to open any media file and swipe left or right video must be played with new player also images should be reachable

@AlexViseven Can you update the license headers? We are using AGPL-3.0-or-later.

blue-Light-Screenshot test failed, but no output was generated. Maybe a preliminary stage failed.
