3ricj e7684eddbf Added substream support, dynamic substream creation, and playback methods for
This change adds first-class adaptive recording playback using main and sub recording variants. Frigate can now store multiple recording variants per camera, expose those variants through the recordings API, and serve variant-specific VOD playlists through routes such as /vod/variant/sub/....

The UI now uses the available recording variants and browser playback capability to choose an appropriate playback source, with a user-selectable Auto, Main, and Sub preference. This is applied across timeline playback, export preview, and object detail playback.

The backend also includes a fallback path for sub playback: when a native sub recording is not available for a requested time range, Frigate can generate a lower-resolution sub recording from the main segment, store it under the standard sub variant, and mark it with transcoded_from_main.

Additional changes include recording metadata for codec, resolution, bitrate, and variant; database migrations for recording variants and generated-sub tracking; tests for variant VOD selection and fallback behavior; improved storage graph sorting; and a small MQTT TLS guard so tls_insecure is only applied when TLS is configured.

Substream Configuration Examples
Record the main stream as the normal full-resolution recording and also record the camera substream as the sub variant:

cameras:
  front_door:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.10:554/main
          roles:
            - record
          record_variant: main
        - path: rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.10:554/sub
          roles:
            - detect
            - record
          record_variant: sub
    detect:
      width: 640
      height: 360
      fps: 5
    record:
      enabled: true
Using go2rtc restreams:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    front_door:
      - rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.10:554/main
    front_door_sub:
      - rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.10:554/sub
cameras:
  front_door:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_door
          input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
          roles:
            - record
          record_variant: main
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_door_sub
          input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
          roles:
            - detect
            - record
          record_variant: sub
    detect:
      width: 640
      height: 360
      fps: 5
    record:
      enabled: true
If record_variant is omitted on a record input, it defaults to main. Each camera can only use a given recording variant once, so the main and sub recording inputs should use distinct variant names.
