Would be amazing to be able to create libraries that combine the contents of other libraries. My use case: Folder Structure `movies/hd` [movies not available in 4K] `movies/hdr` [4K HDR movies] `movies/streaming` [1080p versions of HDR movies] Library Structure: Movies (HD): scans `movies/hd` and `movies/streaming` Movies (4K HDR): scans `movies/hd` and `movies/hdr` The major downside here is that all the organization (collections, art, etc) for non-4K movies has to be done twice since they’re different library items. It would be amazing if I could have 3 libraries, one for each folder (all of which would be private) and then expose dynamic libraries that combine the others for different users. Sorry if this is unclear, and I know it’s a big ask but I think other people would appreciate this feature as “play version” is pretty undesirable since I want to actively limit access to 4K content to friends who I know have a working 4K setup. ---

Merge Libraries - the ability to view multiple libraries as a single view. All animated films in one library, all documentary films in another, etc. Then a combined library that shows the content of all. The problem with just creating a new library that aims at ALl the media directories is you may have spent a lot of time cleaning up movie posters, names, etc. Me…
