What problem does this solve?
When there are many libraries (e.g. HD SDR, HD HDR, HD DV, 4K HDR, 3D...) with a video that has the same IMDB ID (e.g. Movie Avatar, or a TV show). The "Continue Watching" and "Next-Up" may show all versions of the same item side by side as different items, one item per library, with no clear information of which library they belong to.
The solution would remove repeated items, showing a more clean list for the user.
This also happens when searching for movie/shows or browsing favorites.
Proposed solution
Group repeated items showing only one.
Ideas on how to select which source:
- When the user select an item show a list selector for the library
- Auto select one of the options, and go to the details screen, where there is a "source" button, in the same way of the "subtitles" button, the user will there be able to select which version/library of this item.
Maybe this can be extra usefull when showing items of multiple servers too.
