I would like to see more Collection tabs. my ideas - **Actor Collections** - Collection Via Actors or even director. - **Universe Collections** - Universes such as Marvel & DC, Star Trek & Star Wars. - **Seasonal Collections** - Christmas/Easter/Mothers and Fathers (Ask user to enable in the cast of just loosing a parent)/Birthday Day Movies. - **Smart Collections** - Collections built on movies you have watched and then suggested. - **Recommend by Server Admin** - This collection adds to the home screen of all users. ---

You can already have most of that with existing features around smart collections or publishing collections. - **Actor collections** → smart collection based on an advanced filter by actor - **Universe collections** → that’s more or less possible manually or based on some filter criteria (e.g. smart collection based on advanced filter `Studio=Marvel Studios`). - **Seasonal Collections** → this one is probably the trickiest of your suggestions – you can currently only cover this with manually assigned collections - **Smart Collections** → there’s already a few suggestion for that… - automatic/intelligent suggestions based on what you liked/watched → [[feature] intelligent user behaviour "you might like this"](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-intelligent-user-behaviour-you-might-like-this/76139) - active suggestions by/to other users → [Recommend server content (not just queued)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/recommend-server-content-not-just-queued/87784) - **Recommend by Server Admin** → create a collection and publish it [https://support.plex.tv/articles/publishing-collections/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/publishing-collections/) # You might want to read up on what collections are already capable of 😉 [https://support.plex.tv/articles/201273953-collections/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201273953-collections/) ---

I’m aware of all this but having over 100 collections it gets hard to find. What I mean is tabbed collections so you have film collections on the left then within that you have the collections I suggested across the top. ---

“Recommended” - collection hubs? Work similar to what you are asking? ---

So basically like this suggestion – except you want tabs inside the collections tab while this suggestion asks for “sections”? > [@Sections in Collections // mod: collections tab sections](https://forums.plex.tv/t/sections-in-collections/485356): > > Separators to organize collections in sections.
