CrossWatch v0.14.0

Release:
v0.14.0 is about people. One CrossWatch install can now serve a whole household or circle of friends.
Added a new provider Silo (media server category) and we now support identities between media servers (syncs,watcher,webhook)
Behind the scenes, syncs are also safer: a provider that fails to answer can no longer cause removals.

✨ Highlights

• Identities between media servers: pick the users on media servers, and keeps each person in sync.
  • Works for sync pairs, watcher routes and webhooks.
  • Use Match as when someone has a different name per server.
• New provider, Silo (experimental): connect your Silo media server with a device code and pick a household profile.
  • Sync watchlist, ratings, history, progress and collection, and sync collections and Favorites as playlists.
  • Use Silo as a watcher source and as a scrobble target, also for ratings from Plex.
  • Sync several household profiles under one connection, matched by name with Plex, Emby or Jellyfin users.
  • Library whitelisting per feature, per pair and per scrobble route.
• Profiles, overhauled: a step-by-step wizard and can give them their own CW login in one go.
  • Logins are created together with the profile. UI Security now only lists them.
  • Viewing as a profile shows only that profile's connections, pairs, scrobble routes, webhooks and schedule.
  • New pairs, routes and webhooks are added to that profile automatically.
  • Every profile can have its own sync schedule. The global schedule skips pairs that are covered by a profile schedule.
  • A profile can hold more than one instance per provider, for example two Emby servers for the same person.
• Managed users can do more: an admin can give full-access users access to Pairs, Scrobbler, Schedule and Reconnect.
  • Everything is on by default and can be switched off per user.
  • Reconnect lets users sign in again to their own accounts.
• Safer syncs: failed or incomplete provider reads now stop the affected sync instead of triggering removals.
