Changelog

LNA browsing:

    When browsing a TV show in the Media Library, all videos across all seasons are visible.
    There are two new folders within the Movies and TV Shows folders - Filter by Progress and Filter by Information.
    Filter by Progress contains the Watched and Unwatched folders which used to sit within the Videos folder in the Media Library
    Filter by Information lets you filter the videos by a new rich metadata set (actors, genres, country, director, genre, IMDb rating, release date).
    Alongside that is a similar folder Filter by Information which lets you filter the videos by API metadata (actors, genres, etc.)
    New folders Recently Added, Recently Played, In Progress and Most Played are in the Media Library

Web interface:

    Added breadcrumbs at the top of each page
    When in the TV Shows area of the Media Library, the TV shows themselves are shown as thumbnails, with covers from the API
    When browsing a TV show, a movie, or a TV episode, any API metadata is displayed along with a large cover image, including actors, awards, classification, country, directors, genres, plot, ratings, year, and total seasons.
    On those pages above, the colors on the pages are based on the cover image
    Clicking on an individual actor, country, director, genre, or start year, takes you to a list of other media that matches that metadata
    The last few items in the Recently Added, Recently Played, In Progress and Most Played folders are displayed on the front page
    Each TV show and movie has an IMDb icon and direct link if one is found
    Folder and media covers are shown
    Fixed bugs with the Back button
    Version has moved to the settings menu
    Minor design updates

General:

    API is enabled even without filename prettifying
    Failed API lookups are debounced by 1 week to avoid network spam
    Changed prettified season/episode number formatting from Series - 101 - Episode to Series S01E01 - Episode
    Fixed some bugs with prettifying to support more files
    Added support for audio playlist thumbnails (thanks, sf666!)
    Playlist folders are correctly identified via UPnP (thanks, sf666!)
