Added:

• Support for the File System Access API, allowing the web app to read files from your local device (depends on browser support);
• Video playback - suggested by @JesusGod-Pope666-Info;
• Bark, Mel and linear frequency scales (**) - suggested by @TF3RDL (here) and @hsnam95 (here);
• Frequency weighting filters (**);
• New dual-channel layouts: horizontal (side-by-side channels) and combined (overlaid channels) - suggested by @TF3RDL;
• Allow selecting different gradients for each channel, when using a dual-channel layout;
• New bar coloring modes: by level (bar amplitude) and by index (bar position);
• Press 0 (zero) to quickly randomize analyzer settings;
• ANSI switch to use IEC/ANSI preferred frequencies for octave bands - suggested by @jonathan-annett;
• LINEAR switch to use linear amplitude values, instead of decibels (**);
• NOTES switch to display musical note labels in the X-axis scale;
• ROUND switch to render analyzer bars wih rounded corners on top;
• Config options to customize the backgrounds folder and how many individual media files appear in the Background options;
• Config option to limit the maximum frame-rate;
• Config option to adjust on-screen display font size - suggested by @kimycai;

** Special thanks to @TF3RDL for the code snippets which helped immensely in the implementation of these features!
