I would like to be able to set up a smart playlist that can pull from different libraries. For instance, I have separate libraries for live action TV, Cartoons, Anime, Movies, short films, and more. If I wanted to create a smart playlist for the Arrowverse, it would contain all the live action series, but it would miss out on the animated Vixen series that is part of it as it is in a different library. Or, if I wanted to make a smart playlist of “Lovecraft” related items, it wouldn’t grab the short films, movies, or episodes that I have tagged as such at put them all on one. Being able to pull from multiple libraries in a smart playlist would be very useful. ---
