Backend (Rust/Actix-web):
- Add video_preview_clips table and PreviewDao for tracking preview generation
- Add ffmpeg preview clip generator: 10 equally-spaced 1s segments at 480p with CUDA NVENC auto-detection
- Add PreviewClipGenerator actor with semaphore-limited concurrent processing
- Add GET /video/preview and POST /video/preview/status endpoints
- Extend file watcher to detect and queue previews for new videos
- Use relative paths consistently for DB storage (matching EXIF convention)
Frontend (React Native/Expo):
- Add VideoWall grid view with 2-3 column layout of looping preview clips
- Add VideoWallItem component with ActiveVideoPlayer sub-component for lifecycle management
- Add useVideoWall hook for batch status polling with 5s refresh
- Add navigation button in grid header (visible when videos exist)
- Use TextureView surface type to fix Android z-ordering issues
- Optimize memory: players only mount while visible via FlatList windowSize
- Configure ExoPlayer buffer options and caching for short clips
- Tap to toggle audio focus, long press to open in full viewer

Implement `is_h264_encoded` to detect existing h264 videos and optimize processing by using stream copy when possible. Introduce a background job for cleaning up orphaned playlists and segments based on missing source videos. Improve checks for playlist generation necessity.
