- Extended online lookup support at TheMovieDb by using tmdb ids
- Fixed potential crash for imports of UNC locations when checking for IsVirtualSource (thanks @disaster123 for reporting)

- Extended recordings screen to show more details (channel, recording times), (thanks @disaster123, @ge2301!)
- Changes to UPnP system (removed IP affiinity in some calls to improve device detection, sending UPnP "update configuration" after resume from standby to improve reconnection) (thanks @disaster123)
