Add the name of the library in the search results

As explained in another request, I have the same movie in several libraries (See here).

 

Ex. (can be viewed on the last screenshot, at the bottom of this post):

  • One version in HD in a library "Movies HD",
  • One version in 3D in a library "Movies 3D" 
  • A copy of those version on a disconnected drive (a backup),indexed in libraries "Offline" and "Offline 3D"

 

When I search for such a movie, it's really not obvious which movies in the result list is, e.g., in the library "Movies 3D".

Here is for example what I get with Plex on my tablet for "Edge of Tomorrow" (but it's the same with the web and home theater versions):

I think it could be really convenient to get an immediate information about the library containing the movie.

 

Ex.1: In my example here above, the results are all in the "group" named "Movies" (other similar groups are "TV Shows" and "Episodes", i.e.: the various type of libraries). It could be great to have options like "show results grouped per library" or "show results grouped by type of libraries)

 

Ex.2: in the example here after (the "On Deck" view on the web version), the name of the library could be displayed under the title of the movie. I did indeed start to watch "Avatar 3D" on my TV after watching "Avatar HD" on my tablet... And now, I don't easily know which one I must continue...

2nd this -- and add in an option to show what server it's coming from.

In the android app many revs ago, it separated out what server it came from too :)

Yes, the server name would also be interesting, just like we can see that a movie is from a shared library. But as I can guess this depends on personal preferences, to choose to see that info or not should probably be an option…
