- Live homepage:

Added default Live settings in 
[includes/db.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/includes/db.php) 
using https://stream.place/embed/tyclifford.com.
Added Admin → Settings → Live Section controls in 
[admin/settings.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/settings.php): 
enable/disable, live title, and embed URL/iframe input.
Added a homepage Videos / Live toggle in 
[index.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/index.php). 
Videos remains the default view, so the homepage behaves normally until 
Live is selected.
Imgur:
Added Imgur URL normalization, embed support, oEmbed/thumbnail hooks, 
and external view count scraping support in 
[includes/db.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/includes/db.php).
Supports imgur.com, albums/galleries, and direct i.imgur.com 
photos/GIFs/videos by routing them through Imgur embeds.
Imgur external views now flow into external_view_count, so per-item and 
overall site totals include readable Imgur provider counts.
Updated the add-video hint and README docs.
