Changes and user guide (v1.2.x)

------------------------------------

OpenCamView is an Enigma2 plugin for viewing IP cameras via RTSP.
It lets you add/edit/delete cameras, start a live preview with one click,
and export camera entries to an Enigma2 bouquet or to an M3U playlist.

Key features:
- Central RTSP camera list inside Enigma2 (no PC channel editor required).
- Add cameras from the GUI: Name / IP / Port / Username / Password / RTSP Path.
- Live preview: select a camera and press OK.
- Edit and delete camera entries.
- Numeric shortcuts + RTSP help/examples.
- Export cameras to Enigma2 bouquet (4097 service type) and export to M3U.
- Language auto-switching (PL if system is PL, otherwise EN).

Remote control usage:
- OK : start live preview for the selected camera
- GREEN : Add camera
- YELLOW : Edit camera
- RED : Delete camera
- EXIT : Exit

Numeric shortcuts:
- 0 : Set selected camera as Door Station (Intercom)
- 1 : Open Door Station (Intercom)
- 2 : Export to Enigma2 bouquet
- create a new bouquet or append to an existing one
- optional starting channel/position number
- 3 : Export to M3U playlist
- output: /etc/enigma2/opencamview_cameras.m3u
- 4 : Help / RTSP examples

Camera field order:
1) Name
2) IP
3) Port (usually 554)
4) Username
5) Password
6) RTSP Path

RTSP Path (enter ONE matching your device):
- Hikvision / HQvision:
/Streaming/Channels/101
- Dahua / BCS / Imou:
/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
- TP-Link Tapo:
/stream1
- Chinese / No-Name cameras:
/live/ch0 or /11 or /stream

OpenCamView — Version: 1.3

========================================
Technical changes
-------------------------------------
- Version bump to 1.3:
- enables standard upgrade with opkg (no uninstall required when moving from 1.2.1 to 1.3).
- Fixed crash/blue-screen on editing an existing camera:
- resolved a translation function collision that could trigger a runtime exception during edit.
- Added selective export workflow based on user feedback :
- before exporting, you can choose which cameras to include (instead of exporting the full list every time).
- supports exporting single cameras when needed.
- Improved “add next camera faster” workflow :
- the add form can reuse previous values (e.g., port/login/password/path) so you only edit what changes (typically name + IP).
- Door station shortcuts clarified and kept consistent:
- 0 = set door station
- 1 = open door station

Visual/UI changes
-------------------------------------------------------------
- Hotkeys section redesigned for clarity:
- added the label “Choose key:” and presented keys 0–4 in one readable line above the footer.
- included missing information about keys 0 and 1 (door station).
- Footer improvements:
- automatic/current date shown in the footer (based on receiver time).
- bottom text made larger for improved readability.
- Remote color legend aligned to the actual remote layout:
- red / green / yellow / blue order and clearer labels.
