Users have specifically highlighted a stuttering problem when scrolling through the Explore screen and the Game Details screen in the Geemu app. This issue significantly affects the user experience, making the app feel less responsive and polished. The objective of this issue is to pinpoint and resolve the stuttering issue in these two critical screens, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable scrolling experience for users.

Benefits

• Enhances user satisfaction by providing a smooth and fluid scrolling experience in key app sections.
• Improves the perceived quality of the app, making it more enjoyable and engaging for users.

Additional Notes

• Concentrate efforts on optimizing the RecyclerViews used in the Explore screen and the Game Details screen.
• Review data loading processes, image loading, and view rendering to identify potential bottlenecks causing stuttering during scrolling.
• Implement performance profiling to measure improvements and validate the optimizations.

Description:
The deep linking feature in our app is not functioning as expected. When a user clicks on a deep link and navigates within the app, pressing the back button does not take them back to the home destination as intended. Instead, it seems to be going back to the app from which the link was clicked.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Click on a deep link from an external app or source.
2. Navigate within the app using the provided deep link.
3. Press the back button to return to the previous screen.

Expected Behavior:
When pressing the back button after navigating through a deep link, the app should return the user to the home destination or the appropriate previous screen within the app, not the external app from which the link was clicked.

Integrate ktlint checks into the CI/CD pipeline to ensure consistent coding style and maintain code quality. This will involve configuring the CI/CD service (such as GitHub Actions) to automatically run ktlint checks on every pull request and prevent merging if there are style violations.

As a user of Geemu, I find it challenging to manage my game collections effectively. Currently, there's no way to move games between different collections easily. It would be incredibly helpful if Geemu could implement a drag and drop feature, allowing users to move games effortlessly from one collection to another.

Benefits

• Enhances user experience by providing a more intuitive way to manage game collections.
• Allows users to organize their games efficiently and according to their preferences.

Additional Notes

• Games should be draggable, and users should be able to drop them into the desired collection.
• Provide visual feedback during the drag operation to indicate the action.
• Ensure smooth and responsive drag and drop behavior for a seamless user experience

Description:
When attempting to open the app without an active network connection, the app crashes immediately. This behavior is unexpected and affects users who might be using the app in offline mode or in areas with unstable network connectivity.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data on your device.
2. Attempt to open the app.
3. Notice that the app crashes and does not load successfully.

Expected Behavior:
The app should handle the absence of a network connection gracefully, displaying an appropriate error message to the user and allowing them to use any offline features if available. It should not crash under these circumstances.

Actual Behavior:
The app should handle the absence of a network connection gracefully, displaying an appropriate error message to the user and allowing them to use any offline features if available. It should not crash under these circumstances.

Screenshots/Logs (if applicable):
If possible, attach screenshots or relevant logs to help illustrate the issue.

The Geemu app currently utilizes the ExoMedia library for media playback, providing a foundation for various multimedia features. However, to enhance the robustness, optimization, and customization of media playback, it's essential to migrate to a more advanced solution. This issue focuses on migrating from ExoMedia to Media3, a library that offers improved performance, extensive customization options, and optimized media handling capabilities.

Benefits

• Improves media playback performance, leading to smoother video and audio experiences for users.
• Provides developers with a more customizable framework, allowing tailored media playback behavior and appearance.
• Enhances the app's overall stability and reliability when handling multimedia content.

Additional Notes

• Research and plan the migration process, ensuring a seamless transition without disrupting existing features.
• Update relevant components, such as video players, audio players, and media controllers, to utilize Media3 functionality.
• Test the media playback thoroughly on various devices and network conditions to validate the improvements.

Description:
Currently, our video playback feature lacks essential functionalities that enhance user experience and control. We propose implementing the following enhancements to address these issues:

Enhancements:

1. Toggle Fullscreen Mode:

   • Description: Add a button or option to allow users to toggle between fullscreen and portrait mode during video playback.
   • Benefits: Provides users with control over the viewing experience, especially on devices with different aspect ratios.

2. Quality Selection Button:
