I’ve seen feature suggestions for recommending media on the Plex server to others, but they’re based on engines, external services or new entire library sections or playlists. This is simpler.
When you’re done watching a movie or a show/season on a Plex client (i.e., it becomes marked as “played”), you’re (optionally) asked if you would recommend it to others (positive), not recommend (negative), or you can leave the question unanswered. Alternatively or additionally, an item in the kebab menu for the corresponding media item is unlocked, enabling you to mark the same information.
The result would be some kind of icon or indicator on the media item (on or near the poster preferably) displaying the number of positive/negative recommendations, visible to all friends the library is shared with. Further information appears when you select the item (or hover if using a mouse), detailing who left which type of recommendation.
So let’s say I watched a movie in my library before anyone else, and it sucked. Now a friend browsing my shared library looking for something to watch, will see that I don’t think he’ll enjoy it and will know to avoid it.
