I have plex at several of the schools I run.
The menu is now massive as I have things like:
English - Films
English - Video
English - Audio Books
Geography - Films
Geography - Video
and so on for every single department.
I’d like to sub nest things so I can have one main heading, such as the department and then everything under that so:
English
- Films
- Video
- Audio
Geography
- Films
- Video
Until such a feature is implemented, you might consider creating Collections for each subject (English, Geography, Science, etc.). You won’t access them from the left side menu, but go into any library and select the Collections tab at the top. As long as all audiobooks, films, and videos for “Geography” have the identical Collection name, they’ll all appear on that tab. When you add a new item, simply add the appropriate Collection tag, and it will appear in the Collection.
I agree with beckfield – unless there’s some complexity how you share those libraries, collections might be an easier way to achieve that.
If you need the subject/class based structure for sharing, you could alternatively consider using a sharling-label (English, Geography…) and let Plex dynamically create a smart collection based on that same label (1 stone, 2 birds )
That being said, I believe your suggestion is pretty close to what’s been requested some years before – though that never got much attention/support since then.
