Custom collection option not working with Emby shows #3026

Description

Describe the bug
Rules for shows are not working after the custom collection name option is enabled.

Only shows seem to be affected, as I have a similar rule for movies, which is using the same custom collection and is working fine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a collection in Emby with the desired custom collection name
  2. Create a rule for shows in Maintainerr
  3. Enable "Custom collection name" and enter the Emby collection name
  4. Setup some simple rule
  5. Save
  6. Run the rule

Expected behavior
Custom collection configuration within an Emby show rule should work as it does for movie rules.

Device (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Debian (running inside Docker)
  • Version 3.13.0
  • Server: Emby

Debug logs

Logs show one manual run of "Favorite Shows", which fails and then a run of "Favorite Movies", which is successful, targeting the same custom collection name.
