Jellyfin 10.9 next update.

[mvallevand]

I have sometime to look at the addon and fix quite a few things as noted below in a PR I have submitted.  If anyone want to test this let me know.  Otherwise you will test after it is released which might not be the best time.

Recording changes
I. General

• reload recordings and reset modification time when a settings change impacts recordings
  
• delete recording channel json cache to allow for changes outside of Jellyfin. JF only calls for new recordings when the database entries are not cached
  
• use episode mode without S/E for all non movie recordings, Jellyfin was using the subtitle as title and not displaying the title on clips.
  
• parse duplicated S/E information from the sub-title passed in the API.
  
• change cache key, add-on was using a key that changed often, leaving orphan JSON in the cache for every recording
  

II. Recording polling
In 10.9 Jellyfin was re-enabling disabled plugin causing user performance issues (not sure why though)

• don't poll for recording until connected
  
• reduce initial connection time to 5 seconds to avoid overlapping connection attempts
  
• allow configuration of polling interval, the more frequent the more responsive the addon is to changes outside Jellyfin
  
• catch connection errors in the plugin, don't throw errors to core.
  

III. In-progress recordings problems
a) In-progress recordings do not play when recordings are flagged as in-progress

• default in-progress to direct play.
  
• append growing flag to recordings to not send content-length.
  

b) No resume while in-progress

• don't know what to do to make this work.
  

c) Slow playback on initial in-progress recordings

• cannot change the analyzeduration so ffprobe waits for 200MB before playback
  
• if users give up, ffmpeg orphan ffmpeg tasks could be left running.
  
• don't know what to do to make this work.
  

IV.

• configure IPv4 so ffmpeg doesn't use IPv6 when a hostname is specified
  
• adapt to NextPVR unauthenticated access fix starting in 6.1.6
  
• allow unauthenticated recording streaming so clients can direct play. Jellyfin does not proxy client so security was failing and only transcoded play was available.

The PR was released so I guess it gets "tested" by everyone in production now in build 11. If there are questions or problems post them here.

Hi, sorry, I didn't notice the new version earlier. Everything works fine with my daily usage.
