I love the way collections can be shared among Libraries.

But What I would love to see is instead of say you have multiple Movie Libraries on your server, in my case I have Movies, XXX Movies, Fan Films, TV, FanTV, Music, Audiobooks.

What would be useful instead of each movie Library, (Movies, XXX Movies, Fan Films) saying "Movies in " It said something like "Movies in ", XXX Movies in ", Fan Films in .

As it is you end up with three different “Movie Collections” and its not that clear as to which movie collection its referring to.

> I have different “movie” libraries that I have named. When a collection contains items in two or more libraries, Plex still calls them “movies”. For instance, here are some of the libraries I have: Along with my albums, my “Blondie” collection contains Movies, Music Videos and several Longform Music Videos. However Plex doesn’t use the names of the libraries so I get this: It should use the names of the libraries instead, like this: Longform Music Videos in Blondie Collection Mov…

Unless I’ve missed some unique aspect of your suggestion, I’ll close it as a duplicate.

Thanks, I searched for a while and I didnt see one that was suggesting this, even thought it seemed like it should have existed!
