Suggest we add AND Filtering instead of only OR within the same category. As an example, I'd want to filter videos that are both Horror AND Thriller. Current behavior is Horror OR Thriller, spanning multiple results.
I find most of the filtering that Plex offers to be basically useless at this time. Most of that uselessness is because of the poor flagging of "genera" that the standard agents provide. (But I have not found an agent that actually provides genera info better that I have by just keeping my movies in the appropriate directory)
In general movies often have too many genera associated and there are too many genera that are exactly the same thing. ie SciFy, Science Fiction, Sci-fi and others.
The "or" function handles this OK but adding an "and" would make it better however the statements could get a bit complex:
(SciFy or Science Fiction or Sci-fi) and (Thriller or Suspense) and (Horror)
This kind of statement could be very useful but quite complex to implement in a system that uses check boxes to flag genera as the groupings are important. While many/most logical statements that would be used can be made with just simple anding or oring a list there are many possibilities that do not lend themselves to that easy solution.
While I think this would have value I also think that it might be rather hard to implement in the code without introducing unforeseeable problems.
I "liked" this as it is a good idea but I doubt it is a reasonable feature to add at this time.
