Features:
- New "Group results into collections" option for smart collections. Every matched item that sits in a Jellyfin collection is replaced by that collection, so an item search returns collections instead - "every collection holding a highly-rated action movie" rather than the movies themselves. Items that aren't in any collection are kept as they are, and duplicates collapse into a single entry.
Bug Fixes:
- Creating a smart collection with the Collection or Playlist media type from the user configuration page no longer fails with "media type is not supported for playlists".
- Smart collections no longer inherit the server-wide Default Max Playtime. That limit applies to playlists only and its setting is hidden for collections, but it was being applied anyway - so collections were quietly cut short by a limit their form never showed. Existing collections carrying one have it cleared, and converting a playlist to a collection no longer carries it across.
