Hey just a recommendation for a possible feature that might get some use, especially in my use case. The idea would be to be able to group Libraries together and have the actual libraries as sub libraries. I fell this will help clean up the home screen side bar. ex  
Movies -----  
| Animations Movies  
| 4K Movies  
| Movies  
| Dolby Vision  
TV -----------  
| Animations Movies  
| 4K Movies  
| Movies  
| Dolby Vision  
Documentry-  
| Docu Movies  
| Docu TV  
Misc---------  
| Standup Comedy  
| Concerts  
| etc.

something like that would definelty help clean up the clutter and help organize things better in my opinion.

I think this has been asked before:

Rather than Server1\TV Shows &nbsp;& Server2\TV Shows&nbsp;just have SomeName\TV Shows which includes both servers. &nbsp; When sharing libraries, it would keep things tidier.

There is an existing request for this. Rather than splitting votes over multiple threads, it’s best to add your comment and vote there:

> I’d like to suggest expanding the library creation/management process. I’ve been collecting movies and music for almost 30 years - migrating media from VHS to DVD to Digital or vinyl, 8 track, cassette, CD, DVD to digital. For users or collectors with such large libraries and if you are like me and have a NAS or more, your library and collection can be very large. For Example Movies. Currently I have almost 3500 movies. The are currently organized as follows on a sinology DS1812+ Video\Movies…

Given there’s already a number of different suggestions on that very topic, I’ll be closing this thread.  
I can only encourage everybody to use the search before posting duplicate suggestions in order to avoid distracting/dispersing votes.
