plexapi.exceptions.BadRequest: Unknown filter category: actor

[filviu]

Hi,

First: thanks for picking up this project - I use it a lot. I'm hitting an issue with actor based collections. I read the Read me and tried all the variations I found in the readme:

collections:
  Sean Connery:
    actor: Sean Connery

collections:
  Sean Connery:
    actors: Sean Connery

collections:
  Sean Connery:
    plex_search:
      actor: Sean Connery

collections:
  Sean Connery:
    plex_search:
      actors: Sean Connery

but in all 4 cases (tried one by one, not all at once) I'm getting the following error:

| Sync Mode: sync
| Processing Plex Search: actor(Sean Connery)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Tried latest git and v2.8.2 python 3.9 and 3.7 all with the same result. Am I doing something wrong ? Thanks!
