Changes for v0.2.15 build 1928 - v0.2.16 build 1929

Enhancement
Support for embedded SRT subtitles in browser's internal players. This does not apply to VLC player which already supports subtitles. In order to implement this the SRT subtitle must be a separate file so there is a background process that extracts the subtitles from the media file. It can take a while to extract all supported subtitles.
File information now displays all "MediaInfo" information. Also, in the subtitle information a attribute called "Extracted Subtitle File" specifies the location of the extract subtitle.
A new setting appears in the "Settings" window to turn on/off extract embedded subtitles option. If installing new this option is default on otherwise you will have to enable it.
Bug fixes
Removed support for Mubi scrapper.
Fixes to RT And Amazon scrappers.
Small fixes to GUI.
Some HLS performance fixes.
