Misc / Fixes (v1.4.0-b4)
The IMDB entry detection (Media Hoarder trying to find the correct IMDB entry for a movie / tv show based on its name and release year) can fail due to different circumstances. Until now, Media Hoarder did not show errors prominently enough.

Features (v1.4.0-b2)

- UX: only load filters that are actually shown
- reload filters when "edit filters" is done (only reload those filters that have changed visibility from false to true)
- FIX: series/movies filters are not stored when switching to movies/series and back
- related bug: switching movies <> series may lead to 0 media items, even when pressing reload button
- FIX: clicking on plot keyword in "find plot keyword dialog" does nothing
- FIX: hide items in dialogs that have 0 media (e.g. plot keywords for movies that can only be found in series)
- FIX: prevent filtering and highlighting of searchText in Episodes listing

v1.3.37-a7
Features (v1.3.37-a7)

UX/SCRAPER: use imdb-graphql-urls.json (also try to fetch them from master in github, this way we can update the urls if imdb changes them - without creating a new release)
-
UX/SCRAPER: propagate actual errors of imdb scraping to the test result (i.e. errors in graphql querying instead of $IMDB_something is NULL)

Series: IMDB Rating Dialog
