feat(livetv): watchable HLS/MPEG-TS and Guide/Channels/Recordings

[JonahMMay]

Problem

Part of Live TV usability after prairie-server HLS bridge + DVR.

Android Live TV forced HLS MIME on every session, ignored server transport, and only offered a flat channel list (no recordings browser / guide tabs).

Approach

• Decode transport on session start; prefer HLS URL when transport=hls, MPEG-TS proxy otherwise.
• Phone/TV players: ExoPlayer HLS (PlayMethod.TRANSCODE) or direct MPEG-TS (PlayMethod.DIRECT, container mpegts) with existing auth + relative URL resolution.
• Redesign Live TV UI: Guide | Channels | My recordings (search on Channels; cancel active recordings; open completed library_item_id in Item Detail on phone).

Testing

• Unit tests updated for transport decoding / playable URL selection.
• Full Gradle unit tests not run here (no Android SDK in this environment).

AI Disclosure

• Tool(s): Cursor Cloud Agent
• Model(s): Composer
• Involvement: fully AI-generated
• Adversarial review: Confirmed players no longer always force M3U8; mpegts uses progressive TS MIME; recordings cancel is soft-fail on load errors so older servers still show channels.

Checklist

• Adversarial review summarized above
• Focused Live TV model/API tests updated
