Added view_count database migration/defaults and shared helpers in
[includes/db.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/includes/db.php).
Public player and embed.php now increment views.
Homepage and catalogue can display per-video views, total views, and
public stats based on admin settings.
Added Admin → Settings toggles for public view/stat display.
Added Admin → Upkeeping action to restore external view counts from
readable provider pages, with YouTube scraping support first.
Added manual per-video view-count editing in
[admin/edit.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/edit.php)
for older local uploads or corrections.
Updated
[README.md](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/README.md)
with the new behavior.
