Describe the bug

I admit that this is partly my fault. When I set up my library, I plan on putting both movies and tv shows in the same library because I don't care about the multi-library workflow. I left the "type" field blank.
Now when I use Swiftfin, the "Media" tab would not show my library, instead just showing an empty "Favorite" collection.

I dug into the code a bit and see that only ["boxsets", "folders", "movies", "tvshows", "livetv"] are supported.
I have a couple of issues with this:
First is people like me who didn't know better and set up their libraries wrong. As the web client handles this correctly, I didn't realize it was a problem until using the app. And there's no way to change the type of library after the fact. (jellyfin/jellyfin#10570)
Secondly, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see how the app handles these types of libraries differently from each other, maybe just displaying a different string here and there. Personally I think that media (shows, movies, etc.) should be treated differently, but the type of library should not be treated differently at all.

When I remove the line that exclude views that didn't fit the listed types, my library shows up and works as expected

We only currently support movies and tv shows, which is why we need to filter based on the collection type, it has nothing to do with how they differ. The web "works" because it doesn't have to filter.

However, this may be the issue for #1100 but will have to look again after we update our SDK to the 10.9 generation.

I am aware of the app only supporting movies and tvshows, I just wish that it filters the actual media instead of entire collection, because I only have movies and tv shows on my server.
