New

• External source: TMDb collections can be used as a source, both through the API and as a web URL.

Updates

• Scheduled runs: (From 4.4.0.0-beta) Emby's Scheduled Tasks now only lists the tasks you can schedule yourself: Tag & Collection Sync and Home Screen Sync. The other tasks (Top-list section sync, Merge top-list versions and Continue Watching Bump) no longer show up there. They still run automatically as before, and you can start them by hand from the plugin's Run menu.
• Top-list section sync: Now auto detects a new library and runs the task. No more need to manually run after creating a library.
• UI overhaul: Updated the UI to give it a cleaner look and make it more consistent throughout the plugin.
• Top-list: The original round number badges can now use gold, silver and bronze colours for items 1, 2 and 3.
• Logging: If a source fails or gets a warning (e.g. an MDBList is empty or no longer exists), a warning or error sign now appears in the group header before the name. A counter shows how many groups need attention, and a filter lists only those groups.

Fixes

• External source: Sources with several URLs now skip a URL that no longer exists (HTTP 404), so the rest of the source keeps updating.
• External/AI source: A source with filters no longer puts the tag back on titles that the filter removed.
• Smart playlist: A Smart Playlist (MediaInfo) source without any filter rule is now skipped instead of tagging the whole library.
• Smart playlist: Watched/Unwatched rules for TV shows now use Emby's own played state of the show (a show counts as watched when all its episodes are watched). Before, shows were almost always seen as unwatched, so existing sources with these rules may now give different results.
• General: Various bug fixes and performance improvements
