I suggest an option within Plex settings to elevate some of what are considered Plex filters, (eg: collections, genres, directors and actors) directly to the main menu such that they could optionally appear along side playlists and libraries.

That being said… if you’re aiming for one of the above suggestions… let’s close this one to avoid yet another duplicate thread that distracts votes from existing ones.
