Right now, it's a bit difficult to go through all of my movies. I know I can create and sort by collection, genre, etc., but it doesn't help when browsing for movies to watch. What I'd like to do is group, for example, all the Harry Potter movies together. Or all the Star Wars movies together. Right now, they take up an inordinate amount of space. Is there a way to configure Plex to have them in a sort of subfolder that expands when selected?

Yes in your library settings Manage library -> Edit -> Advanced -> Go to the Bottom you see Collections set to 'Hide items which are in collections'. Or if you use 'Kometa' (you should its great) you can set 'collection_mode: hide_items'. This way you have one poster called Harry Potter and then inside its all harry potter movies.

That second solution you mentioned is what I'm after. The first just hides the movies which isn't the goal, we still want to know that they're an option, just not take up 40 slots of Marvel movies. They're all pretty much the same.

This Kometa thing...does it have to be run on a PC? We currently use a PS5 for Plex, but if this is a player side UI tweaker, I imagine that's not gonna fly on a closed system like a PS5.

You can scroll through a list of collections in your library
