Add playlist/Now Playing features and refine Stream Deck+ dial controls

[R4g3D]

Why
The plugin needed a more complete playback surface on Stream Deck, especially for Now Playing visibility and Stream Deck+ dial usability. This work adds playlist support, improves Now Playing reliability, and upgrades the dial from the stock layout to a custom playback-focused experience.

What

• Added a playlist action with inspector support.
• Added and improved the Now Playing tile/action.
• Fixed stale Now Playing state on page changes and action re-appear.
• Reduced redraw flicker and stabilized paused/playback rendering.
• Improved previous-track timing behavior.
• Replaced the built-in Stream Deck+ dial layout with a custom playback layout.
• Added track-time and volume text indicators on the dial.
• Added a dial display option for time remaining vs time played.
• Changed the default dial text format to {artist} - {song}.
• Added touch feedback animation for dial-screen taps.
• Fixed the dedicated favorite action so it toggles correctly.
• Fixed dial mute/unmute so it restores the prior volume.
• Added GitHub release workflow support and updated docs.

Testing
Checked modified JS files with node --check
Validated the custom layout JSON
Manually tested the updated dial and Now Playing behavior in Stream Deck

Amazing. Thanks!
Just in case it´s possible for you to do this:
I´d like to have a button that adds the current song to a predefined playlist.
So for example I can have 3 buttons with different playlists and while I´m listening to music I can organize my library by adding them to any of those playlists.

Thanks again for your great work!

Unfortunately this is not possible. The Cider application itself does not make an RPC call available to add a specific song to a specific playlist. The only supported call is to add a song to your library, which the plugin already implements. Sorry.

If the Cider devs ever add this as a optional RPC call to the main application, I will happily implement it into the plugin.
