What I miss in Plex (or at least didn’t find) was that you could browse vertically between categories when browsing for a specific genre of movies. The genre filter is there but it’s not quite the same. I think it would just be a quality of life feature to be able to vertically view genres like in netflix (and then the movies in that genre are a horizontal scroller).
