* feat(transcode): apply player MaxBitRate cap and use format-aware default bitrates Add player MaxBitRate cap to the transcode decider so server-side player bitrate limits are respected when making OpenSubsonic transcode decisions. The player cap is applied only when it is more restrictive than the client's maxAudioBitrate (or when the client has no limit). Also replace the hardcoded 256 kbps default with a format-aware lookup that checks the DB first (for user-customized values), then built-in defaults, and finally falls back to 256 kbps. For lossless→lossy transcoding, prefer maxTranscodingAudioBitrate over maxAudioBitrate when available. * test(e2e): add tests for player MaxBitRate cap and format-aware default bitrates Add e2e tests covering: - Player MaxBitRate forcing transcode when source exceeds cap - Player MaxBitRate having no effect when source is under cap - Client limit winning when more restrictive than player MaxBitRate - Player MaxBitRate winning when more restrictive than client limit - Player MaxBitRate=0 having no effect - Format-aware defaults: mp3 (192kbps), opus (128kbps) instead of hardcoded 256 - maxAudioBitrate fallback for lossless→lossy when no maxTranscodingAudioBitrate - maxTranscodingAudioBitrate taking priority over maxAudioBitrate - Combined player + client limits flowing correctly through decision→stream * feat(transcode): update transcoding profiles to add flac, filter by supported codecs, and ensure mp3 fallback Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> * fix(db): ensure all default transcodings exist on upgrade Older installations that were seeded before aac/flac were added to DefaultTranscodings may be missing these entries. The previous migration only added flac; this one ensures all default transcodings are present without touching user-customized entries. * test: remove duplication Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> --------- Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org>
