Cleanup repo + harden offline install and watchdog
Repo hygiene:
- Remove dead scripts (.wait-for-display, .display-keepalive, .keep-screen-alive)
- Remove stale backup/scratch (install.sh.bak, New.txt, stale .pyc)
- Stop tracking machine-specific/generated state (config/app_config.json,
playlists/server_playlist.json, src/player_auth.json, generated launchers)
- Prune duplicate wheel versions (one per package)
- Reorganize working_files -> dev/, dev/tests/, documentation/dev-notes/, scripts/
- Extend .gitignore; fix no-op rules in repo/.gitignore
Offline install (install.sh):
- Non-fatal system-dep step; per-package apt retry; .deb bundle install
- Skip pip self-upgrade offline; guard online fallbacks behind connectivity probe
- Dependency-free fetch_url (curl/wget/urllib); --no-reboot flag
- Fix corrupted literal backslash-bang escapes (shebangs, test -f, banner)
- Idempotent cron install (no more stacked @reboot lines)
Autostart / watchdog:
- start.sh: single-instance flock lock (.player_watchdog.lock) acquired only
after a display is confirmed, preventing parallel watchdogs
- Set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR when missing; exit early if headless
- run_player.sh: activate .venv; stop_player.sh: clear lock file

Add comprehensive video playback optimization for smooth performance
Environment variable optimizations:
- KIVY_WINDOW='pygame' - Better window backend performance
- KIVY_AUDIO='ffpyplayer' - Optimized audio playback
- KIVY_GL_BACKEND='gl' - Use OpenGL for better graphics
- FFMPEG_THREADS='4' - Multi-threaded video decoding
- LIBPLAYER_BUFFER='2048000' - 2MB buffer for smooth playback
- SDL_AUDIODRIVER='alsa' - Better audio on Raspberry Pi
Kivy configuration optimizations:
- multisampling=0 - Disable for better performance
- fast_rgba=1 - Enable fast RGBA mode
- Stereo audio (channels=2)
- Reduced logging overhead (warning level)
Video widget enhancements:
- FFmpeg buffer optimization (2MB)
- Multi-threaded decoding (4 threads)
- Ignore index for better seeking
- Allow codec fallback
- 60 FPS animation delay
New video optimization script (.video-optimization.sh):
- GPU memory increased to 256MB
- Install video codec libraries
- Optimize swappiness to 30 (better memory management)
- CPU forced to performance mode
- Filesystem cache optimization
Installation integration:
- Runs video optimization automatically on Raspberry Pi
- Configures GPU memory, libraries, and system settings
- Improves overall video playback smoothness
This addresses video stuttering, frame drops, and playback lag
by optimizing at multiple levels: environment, application, and system.
