Currently if a user starts playback of an in-progress game, the stream starts from wherever the live playback is currently up to. This has a high risk of spoilers.
This PR adds an option to the settings called "Start live stream playback from beginning" under a new submenu called "Playback". This controls a bool which is used to set the inputstream property
inputstream.adaptive.play_timeshift_bufferwhich, when set to true, will play any ongoing live streams from the beginning of the stream. (see https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.adaptive/wiki/Integration#inputstreamadaptiveplay_timeshift_buffer )I originally wanted it to be chosen by the user on a per-stream basis, but that would have been more difficult and would also present the user with yet another dialog to click through when playing a stream which could be annoying. So the approach provided is probably cleaner anyway.
