Stability and performance improvements
JRemote will now refresh views instead of reconnecting when server is restarted or changed.
Connection should be more stable, resulting in less random disconnect/reconnect behaviour.

On the iPad version, an icon will also appear in the "Now Playing" view if the current track has assets.

- Metadata "Date" field not saved correctly
- Search page not updated properly when changing theme
- Wrong title on back button
