Description

Describe your suggested feature

Currently, all saved content in the Library (Movies, TV Shows, and Anime) is grouped together in a single view. As the library grows, it becomes difficult and visually cluttered to navigate through mixed media types to find a specific title.

I would like to see dedicated categories or filter tabs added to the top of the Library screen (e.g., All, Movies, TV Series, Anime). Selecting a tab would dynamically filter the items based on their media type metadata.

As an alternative, manual tags or custom playlists could be used, but automatic filtering based on existing metadata (Movie, TvSeries, Anime) would be much more seamless. Sorting by name or date is also available, but it still mixes all media types together.

Adding category filtering would significantly improve the overall user experience and navigation for users with large libraries, allowing quick access to specific content types without extra scrolling.

Acknowledgements
  • My suggestion is NOT about adding a new provider
  • I have searched the existing issues and this is a new ticket, NOT a duplicate or related to another open issue.

Research direction

Start by locating the Android Library screen and the existing media type metadata for Movies, TV Series, and Anime. Review how library items are currently grouped and rendered; done means category tabs or filters show All and each requested media type without mixing items.
