Cinema 1.4.12

Tested with 1.17.0, but might still work with 1.16.* versions of the game.

Major Changes

• Added the ability to place more than one video screen in a map. All screens will play the same video.
• Cinema is now required to be added as a suggestion, otherwise the video won't play if the map is in the WIP folder.
• Added a reminder text for mappers to add the suggestion
• If there is at least one difficulty with the suggestion, difficulties without it won't play the video anymore. This is to allow mappers to have "umodded" difficulties.

Why is the suggestion required now?
The new BeatSaver has a filter for maps using Cinema, and the way it detects mod usage is via the suggestions. If the suggestion is missing, your map won't be categorized correctly.

Minor Changes

• Reduced preview volume
• Dropped the dash from the search query to improve search results
• Fixed some DLC songs not playing the video after downloading

Changes
