It would a nice feature for Plex be be able to Merge shared Libraries across users.

Instead of user selection a Library - Have plex show all content for all share libraries. Duplicates should be eliminated with local copies taking priority. is a selection in made from a remote libray is should just play.

Of course keep current method of providing access as it currently is. this would eliminate the need to ever select a library.
