• Added bulk downloads for seasons and entire series with organised folder structures and unified progress tracking.

Major Improvements

• Improved BoxSet handling with support for seasons and episodes, including accurate runtime and “Ends At” calculations based on collection contents.

• Redesigned download settings UI with richer metadata, improved layout, and consistent artwork handling.
• Improved metadata display, including better formatting for long “Ends At” times and runtime calculations.
• Refined Home and media browsing UI with reusable components, standardised loading/error states, and improved accessibility scaling.
