feat: filter out genres in discovery, default user settings

[Sn1perdog]

Description

Using TheMovieDB's without_genres query parameter, we are able to filter out chosen genres out of our search for movies and TV Shows.
Added user settings for both categories, as these have different genres, which automatically gets applied every time the user goes to the Discover pages and when viewing the Popular X.

If a user adds a genre to the (Exclude) Genre, it gets removed from the other one and vice versa.

• [nitpick] The variable userDefaultfilterGenres breaks camelCase consistency—consider renaming it to userDefaultFilterGenres.

  const userDefaultfilterGenres =

src/components/Discover/FilterSlideover/index.tsx:197

• The updated countActiveFilters now considers default exclusions and 'none'. Please add unit tests covering these new scenarios to ensure correctness.

This repo is deprecated. New repo is https://github.com/seerr-team/seerr

And seerr is on a feature freeze until next release as release is around the corner. Only bugfixes and refactors.

Hey @fallenbagel, thanks for the reply.
I was originally implementing this feature into jellyseerr (because that's the one I use), but then I saw that changes were being pulled into it from here.
I was not aware of this, seems like an exciting time for the team(s), I'll see if I can port the changes on next release.
