Improve filter by genre - harrenkyym - 2024-01-16
Ok, so I have a question.
What do you do when do you want to check your list of movies that are a comedy AND an adventure? Because I don't know how to do it.
When you check the filters and you select comedy and adventure, you get every comedy and every adventure movie (OR, not AND)
And what if you want to list every movie but NOT dramas? Not possible, again.
I have an idea (that can be improved a lot):
1 click in a genre from the genre filter = list every movie from that genre
1 click in a second /third/etc. genre = OR
2 clicks in a second/third/etc. genre = AND (and instead of ✔️ it could became ➕)
3 clicks in a genre (because maybe you want to list all the movies but NOT animation) = NOT (and instead of ✔️ or ➕ it could became ❌)
3 clicks in a second/third/etc (because maybe you want a comedy AND adventure NOT animation) = NOT (and instead of ✔️ or ➕ it could became ❌)
4 clicks = unselected
For example, if you select once a Comedy and once an Adventure, but twice an Animation movie, you would get every Comedy AND Animation and every Adventure AND Animation. I mean, every combination can be possible with the list above. It is not very user friendly and 0 intuitive, but it's something.

are you adding your corresponding feature requests to https://features.jellyfin.org and making sure they don't already exist?
(afaik the feature request section of this forum only serves to discuss those added there)
