This may be a feature request as I couldn’t find anything on the topic.
Is there a way, or could there be a way, to have the content of both my server and my friend’s server in one place?
As in, when I login via the web app or via Plex on Pi, I see one content library that is the combination of my content and my friend’s content. Duplicates removed.
When I hit play, it streams from either server, depending on who has the content. If we both have the content, it streams from the local server first.
Personally I’m starting to wonder why we need explicit servers in the first place when playing content. It’s perfectly fine for when telling Plex where we store our media but otherwise it should be essentially hidden from us.
Hey all
this could be very fine
Instead of seeing the server list, it could be a unique (sort of “virtual” server) list of all libraries. (a parameter could be proposed to have the current behavior or this new feature)
This could be more helpful and more WAF while somebody does not know in which server is located its favorite libraries.

Thanks for all

Not only list all the libraries but allow you to group similar libraries together. If I have a Plex Cloud server and a local server both with TV shows and Movies, then I should be able to group the Plex Cloud and local movies together into one library and the Plex cloud and local tv shows together in another library.
Then you can prioritize in case both libraries have duplicates that it prefers local over cloud or if you have half a dozen friends group together you can prioritize all of them.
I would have thought this topic would get a lot more love. Do not many people have multiple servers and/or friends servers? I would think anyone with Plex Cloud would love for it to integrate nicely with their other plex server (if they have one) at least.

Any chance to have this feature done one day, it would be so user friendly
