Two causes, both fixed:
- Plex keeps one file stream per device and cuts the one in progress when another starts, so the read-ahead
and the player cut each other off. Whole-file fetches (read-ahead, downloads, download-first) now ask for
the file as a download (?download=1), which Plex leaves out of that rule; the plain address follows for
servers that refuse downloads.
- Http.abort closed the socket of a response already read to the end, whose connection was back in the pool
and could be carrying the read-ahead. abort now leaves finished responses alone (test/PoolAbortTest.java).

- One build per Android level, as in Tenda: build/PlexampLite.apk (Android 2.2+, versionCode 1508) and
build/PlexampLite-api16.apk (Android 4.1+, 1516), from shared src/ plus platform/api8 or platform/api16.
- Android 4.1 build: ExoPlayer 2.18.7 behind a small Engine interface (gapless hand-over to read-ahead and
downloaded files, a longer buffer, MediaPlayer fallback for tracks it can't decode), a notification and
lock screen with art and buttons, a resizable widget, Holo, a menu button without a Menu key, metered networks.
R8 shrinks ExoPlayer and Guava (tools/fetch_exoplayer.sh, tools/r8-rules.pro).
- Both builds: lyrics in Now Playing as in the Mac app (timed lyrics follow and seek), a home-screen widget,
media play/pause keys, the moon icon drawn without clipPath.
- PlexampLite-noreport on the SD card stops play reports, for tests against a real server.

Read-ahead keeps the next two tracks on the SD card (one without it) and drops files
that are no longer coming up. Trusted roots are cached once read, and a failed read
is retried instead of leaving every server untrusted until a restart.

Renames the app (label, texts, log files, Plex product name, User-Agent, APK). The package
name, preferences and signing key stay, so it installs over Minamp and keeps its settings.
tools/strings.py catches up with the strings added straight to the XML in 9440536.

- Downloads for offline listening: long-press a track, album, artist or
playlist -> Download; Menu -> Downloads lists them (progress, space used/free,
play/shuffle, retry, remove). Saved on the SD card (Android/data/com.minamp/
files/downloads). MP3 originals kept as they are unless above a lower
download quality; the rest transcoded to MP3 (320 kbps by default). One at a
time, Range resume for originals, retried when the server is back, Wi-Fi lock.
- Downloaded tracks play from the SD card, offline too; plays made offline
are reported to Plex when a connection works again.
- Server.pick: when last time's connection was remote, give the plain home
addresses 2 s first (a hairpinned remote address kept us encrypted and
capped at home). test/PreferHomeTest.java.
- Playback "playing" but not moving for 12 s: say so instead of staying silent.
- Menu -> Close Minamp: stop the music and close every screen.

- Remember the connection that worked and try it alone first next start
- Prefer plain HTTP on the home network (each TLS handshake costs seconds on a
600 MHz phone); new setting "Encrypt at home too" to keep HTTPS
- Try secure addresses one at a time instead of in parallel, so they don't
all time out together
- TLS 1.2 with session resumption: reconnects skip the full handshake
- Cache certificate chains already verified; changing the trusted roots
clears that cache and all TLS sessions
- README: updated connection order; test: session resumption check and
HandshakeProfile

- Fix NoSuchMethodError on Android 2.x: Dalvik before 4.0 can't link Object
methods (toString/equals/...) called through an interface. Patch the bundled
Bouncy Castle (tools/patch_bc_dalvik.py) and our own CertVerifier, and make
build.sh fail if tools/scan_dalvik.py finds any such call
- Treat a manually entered private address (10.x, 172.16-31.x, 192.168.x,
.local) as home, so LAN servers that allow access without sign-in work
- Send Plex client headers on media requests (files and transcodes)
- Explain a 503 on a file as the server being unable to open it (drive or
folder not available)
- Connection log: home/away, token presence, Plex's file check and a direct
file request in the streaming test

- Transcoding: send client identities Plex has a profile for (unknown ones get
400 "unable to find a matching profile"), with a fresh session id per variant
- Stream proxy: fetch transcodes once into a temp file and serve every player
request from it, so reconnects no longer restart the transcode (503s, tracks
cut short); original files still pass Range requests through
- Sign-in: remember the pending link code so it survives Minamp being closed
while the code is entered elsewhere; add "I've entered it - check now"
- Diagnostics: in-app connection log (DiagLog) with a streaming test and save
to SD card; tokens are never logged

- Run network/TLS work on 256 KB-stack threads (net/Threads.java): Android 2.x's
~16 KB default stack overflowed during the bundled TLS handshake
- Close pooled TLS connections off the caller thread
- Try several Plex music-transcoder URL variants until the server accepts one,
and remember the one that worked
- Accept pasted server URLs with paths; default to 443 for https
- Catch fatal errors and save a crash report (shown on next launch and written
to Minamp-error.txt on the SD card)
