I would like to see some new features around how movies are organized both on disk and within the system.

In my movies folder I have:

```auto
Movie A (2018)
Movie B (2015)
Movie C (2010)...

```

But if I have a collection of movies, for example all the Harry Potter films I would like to have them in a folder:

```auto
Harry Potter
     Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone (2001)
     Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (2002)
     Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)...

```

I can do this currently but that means I have to add each “Collection” individually to my Movies Library.

So what I would like to see is a way that I can store collections of movies in sub-folders, without having to add each collection one at a time, and then the Movie Library is searching and indexing many folders. Its also just a pain. If we could add a tag to a folder name like “_Collect_(namehere)” to identify a collection vs a single film then the system would know to go into that sub-folder to look for films. Also have it not just go one level but multiple levels.

Such as:

```auto
_Collect_Disney
    _Collect_Marvel
         _Collect_IronMan
               IronMan (2009)
               IronMan 2 (2012)
    _Collect_StarWars
         Star Wars (1977)
         Star Wars Empire Strikes Back (1980)
         Star Wars Return of the Jedi (1983)
    _Collect_Pixar...

```

What would also be nice is to create playlists based on collections and sub-collections. This could also be helpful in setting the collections tag in the media file.
