Fixed subtitle retrieval from 'Remository', thanks to Gabe01
ONLINE FAVOURITES / USER RATINGS:
Added importing of user favourties from thetvdb.com. Favourites Added/Removed since last import will be reflected in GUI. User can also Add/Remove from server locally.
Added new option in Configuration under the 'Views' tab to control if the online favourites or local favourites are displayed in GUI.
Added importing of user ratings from theTVDB.com. All user ratings that have been sent to the server locally/remote will be imported locally on next import.
Note: User Ratings and User Favourites will only be downloaded if theTVDB.com User Account ID (NOT Username) is entered in the configuration.
MISC:
Added the ability to change layouts from with-in the GUI. User no longer needs to exit MediaPortal and manually edit from Configuration or SkinSettings.xml.
Fixed 'Sort By' not using the sort name of the series e.g. 'Simpsons, The'. Option to sort series is available under 'General Settings' in configuration.
Added new Date Setting to 'General Settings' in configuration. The Short Date format 'yyyy-MM-dd' can be over-ridden with a format defined in the Users 'Regional and Language Options' of the Windows Control Panel.
Fixed 'Clear Update Timestamps' option not working as expected. When this option is clicked, the next import will download all updates from the theTVDB.com.
Changed 'Hide Spoiler' functionality to also hide thumbnail. Typically a episode thumbnail should not contain spoilers but this sometimes is not the case. Fixed OSD not reflecting this setting.
Fixed Double Episodes not being imported correctly. The second part was not imported and displayed in GUI. This only occurred when 'Download episode information for whole series' was not enabled.
Fixed several crashes reported by users in forums and Issue Tracker.
