BETA: tvOS/ iOS - Stack Movies into their Franchises

As of the latest pre-release server and TestFlight version of Channels for tvOS/iOS, you can now optionally stack movies into their franchises when browsing your library. You can also browse all of your franchises from the Movies section. This is true for the main library and Kids section. Currently, movies are only stacked into franchises when you are browsing all of your movies. They are not stacked in content rows like Recently Added, Recently Watched, etc, as this doesn't quite make sense. …
