Description

Add user-configurable controls for Aniyomi streaming subtitle behavior, including preferred language profile, soft-vs-hard source preference, ffmpeg-assisted hard-sub removal behavior, and policy toggles so quality and fallback behavior can be tuned without code changes.

Acceptance Criteria

  • #1 Add settings UI fields to define preferred subtitle/audiotrack language order (e.g., en, ja) and enable/disable hard-sub fallback mode.
  • #2 Add explicit toggle for enabling hard-sub stripping via ffmpeg and configurable timeout/quality limits to avoid long waits.
  • #3 Expose source ranking preferences for soft-sub vs hard-sub sources and optional fallback to native/transcoded source when preferred modes are unavailable.
  • #4 Persist settings in existing config schema with migration-safe defaults and include clear validation for invalid/unsupported values.
  • #5 Show current effective policy in streaming UI (for debugging): source selected + reason + whether subtitles are soft/hard and if ffmpeg path is active.
  • #6 Add user-facing explanatory text and warnings for ffmpeg dependency, expected CPU/cpu cost, and compatibility limits.
  • #7 Log and display when user-adjusted policy changes alter a previously preferred source choice during runtime.
