Notes

1. Dropped Shows / Dropped Manager - Trakt has no browsable "Dropped" list; it relies on Trakt's native hidden-items feature to filter dropped shows out of Progress and Calendar automatically, managed through a toggle-based Hidden Progress Manager rather than a plain add/remove list. MDBList's Dropped is TV-only - no movies_dropped table exists anywhere in the addon.
2. Liked List Manager - MDBList's Liked Lists can be viewed but not un-liked from inside Umbrella; the provider only exposes a read endpoint, with no removal call to build a manager against.
3. Authorization Method - Trakt, MDBList, and Custom use a device-code flow (approve a code on the provider's own site); Simkl uses an equivalent PIN-based variant. Floppy and Scrob instead take a server URL and token pasted into settings, validated with a connection test rather than an interactive login.
