beta-260124

[wizmo2]

Update Zidoo API to asyncio, plus general cleanup and fixes aimed at improving responsiveness and and overall functionality. Also included is a separate virtual Remote Entity, which proves a more standard interface for sending key commands.

NOTE: This release includes embedded Rapid Update. If you are currently using an automation based on the documentation example, this can now be removed, but please re-enable automatic update if necessary

Please give it a try and report any issues.

Changes

1. replace zidoorc with aync version zidooapi
2. Update integration to support new functions (Blocking Requests Bug #20 fix blocking call "bug").
3. Add Rapid update when player is on
4. Major cleanup and optimization of code.
5. Add Remote Entity support (Added remote entity to support additional commands #22 thanks @albaintor) _NOTE: This will eventually replace the 'Send Key' service
6. Fix progress time units from ms to seconds.
7. Improve browsing and search functions with Media Browser
