Why can’t users of the various apps get combined listings from similar libraries on more than one Plex Media Server? It should be a very simple set-up in the Plex user’s account, to designate two or more Plex Media Servers to work in tandem. That way, one search request would return all photos, movies, TV, and music meeting the search criteria in both/all servers, with a special note on where to find a particular result. Or one could browse photographs, movies, TV, and music across both/all servers associated with the account, instead of having to browse two or more different servers to find a title.

I have a 24-TB capacity NAS server that I am about to fill up. Western Digital will not let me combine two or more physical machines into a pair or cluster that would act as one device. So I ask you: why not a feature to let me search or browse two or more devices with one search or browse request?
