fix: resolve stuttering by adding timeouts to mixer frame fetching

Browse Source 
## Problem:
The mixer was blocking indefinitely on future.result() calls, causing
variable frame times (100-600ms) when sources were slow, resulting in
visible stuttering despite decent average FPS.

## Root Causes Fixed:

1. **Indefinite Blocking in get_frame()**
   - Lines 365-366 called future.result() WITHOUT timeout
   - Slow sources (animations taking 200-500ms) blocked entire frame
   - Caused highly variable frame times leading to stuttering

2. **Animation Source Detection Bug**
   - Line 362 checked 'if "ANIM" not in source_name'
   - Failed to detect animations named "METABALLS", "PLASMA", etc.
   - Tried to open animations as cv2.VideoCapture, causing failures

## Solutions Applied:

1. **Non-Blocking Frame Fetching with Timeouts** (mixer.py:379-415)
   - Added 50ms timeout per source for smooth playback
   - First frame waits indefinitely (sources need initialization)
   - Cache frames on success, use cached frame on timeout
   - Results in consistent frame times (~100ms) vs variable (100-600ms)

2. **Fixed Animation Source Detection** (mixer.py:362-363)
   - Changed to: source_name in self.src_1_animations or src_2_animations
   - Correctly identifies all animation sources

3. **Settings Bug Fix** (settings.py:29)
   - Fixed log_level default value handling

## Result:
- Smooth, stutter-free playback
- Consistent frame times
- Graceful handling of slow sources
