.... CiefpPicturePlayer v1.1 .....
This version brings significant improvements in system stability,
easier access to files and better display organization.

## Android Integration (Beta): A support for connecting to Android devices has been prepared,
which allows easier transfer and viewing of images directly from mobile phones to your receiver.

## Auto-Clear Cache Protection: A protection system has been added that prevents the receiver's memory from overflowing.
Now you can set a limit (e.g. 500MB) after which the plugin will automatically delete old cached images so that the system always works smoothly.

## Advanced image sorting: Images are now organized more logically - the most recently added images are displayed at the top of the list,
which makes it easier to navigate through large albums without the need for long scrolling.

## Performance optimization: Improved loading of thumbnails and more stable handling of network paths (SMB/CIFS).
## Recommendation: After installation, go to Settings (MENU)
and set the desired Auto-Limit for cache memory according to the free space on your device.

How to use:
Settings on the phone:
- start File Manager (I use the system one)
Settings in the file manager:
- set the port to 2121
- set the login user:root passw:user1 (put your own password)
Starting FTP
FTP - Start
The ftp address is displayed on the screen, for example:
192:168:1:10:2121
On the receiver, open the CiefpPicturePlayer plugin
yellow button Network select the option:
Connect to Phone (Android FTP)
The virtual keyboard starts (I recommend the NewVirtualKeybord plugin)
The order of entry is as follows:
ip address - enter the ip address without the port, click on green to continue
port - here enter only the port 2121 green to continue
username - enter the username you entered in the file manager green to continue
password - enter the password you entered in the file manager green to confirm
if the connection is successful, the files from the phone are displayed
