Video library redesign idea - How can we improve Smart Playlists, aka Filtered Lists?

I'm not sure if this strictly falls into your revamp of the library but I would love a hybrid file/library mode which would display both 'matched' and 'unmatched' movies from the scraper, with an easy to see indicator as to which were and were not matched. As it is right now, it's painful to locate those movies that are not matched by a scraper as they simply don't appear at all in the Library view.

I had to manually create NFOs and used mine as TV Shows, but being able to search (videos w/ this nephew and that grandparent or this vacation or 'birthdays' as genres is great)

That's actually not a bad idea that can add some flexibility to a few of us trying to add things like documentaries or ambiance/relaxation videos. Some TLC needed to be correctly incorporated, maybe tricking the category into thinking different subcategories are seasons, but there's somthing to be done to trick the inflexibility of some aspects of videos. Glad we can use .nfo files to prevent scraping those files

Set-up virtual folders, containing what you want, and have it show up as a separate item on the home screen.

This way, I can have a home movies folder, with local stored .nfo, (either setup like TV Show or Movie) and show custom named "Home Movies" on home screen.

Similar to "Media Browser" setup.
