Add an option to retrieve local sunrise/sunset time from online providers

As the title suggested.

It would be a nice QoL improvement to have the sunrise/sunset time retrieved from the online providers based on the location reported by the Windows system, or by Lat-Long set manually by the user.

What is the current sunrise/sunset time taken from. I'm a new user and have been playing with this setting. Videos don't seem to play as per the setting, I get night videos during the day, so was wondering if I needed to add an offset?

I am facing the same issue too. A workaround that seems to be working for me 90% of the time is swapping sunrise and sunset time (ex sunrise 18.00, sunset 07.00).

The sunset/sunrise showing the wrong videos was thankfully discovered and fixed in v1.0.1. And in v1.1.0 the option to determine sunrise/sunset time via latitude/longitude was added. It isn't automatically generated from the user's location, but any good solution for that would require a paid service. So while it isn't off the table, automatically grabbing the location isn't in the near future for Aerial. Still, we have a much better solution than previously.
