Fixing issues with seeking in ExoPlayer

• jvl711: Rearchitected how playback position was retrieved. Switched to a UI thread that updates every 500ms.
• jvl711: Fixed an issue with seeking after resume from pause. The state was not getting properly updated
• jvl711: Allowing proper seek when playback is paused. Allow the position to get reported to sage server on pause

Fixed Transcoding, Volume Key Issues, Android 11 Fixes

This release is a collection of a lot of smaller beta releases. Below is the changes

• jvl711: Fixed an issue with Android 11 where images were not rendering
• jvl711: Upgraded ExoPlayer to 2.11.8
• jvl711: Fixed the volume up/down keys. You need to map them to NONE for them to work properly
• jvl711: Volume up/down mapped to NONE by default
• jvl711: Added fixed transcoding settings to allow for HD transcoding from the server to MKV container
• jvl711: Added the ability for Exoplayer to filter the Video codecs that are not supported. This will allow SageTV to transcode on unsupported formats

NOTE: The fixed transcoding changes need a patched version of Sage.jar to work properly. Hopefully those changes will make it into the next release of SageTV
