Goodbye omxplayer

It has been fun using Omxplayer, but as VLC now supports hardware decoding for x264 it is time to switch.
Also, I was happy to learn that HEVC support is on its way to raspberry pi 4.

Features

  • Replace omxplayer by vlc
  • Make the project compatible with all platforms (not yet tested)
  • Add Stream data to the video model
  • Add subtitle download functionality to the media downloader.
  • Remove FFmpeg dependency as subtitles are not extracted anymore

Improvements

  • Better code coverage
  • Faster video availability (no more sub extracting)

Bug fixes

  • Fix sound control
  • Fix file descriptor leakage (omxplayer-wrapper removed)
  • Fix controls not working when dbus connection failed
