Sort by popularity/trending

[lulan 2]

Dear Emby developers,

first of all, thank you for this great piece of software. I enjoy it even more than the clients of Amaozon or Netflix despite them having AI suggestions. Emby is a wonderful example of the benefits of open source software!

Before I started using emby, I was using my primitive homemade DLNA server. So I can say, the $120 for the lifetime license was totally worth it! Unfortunately, there's only one thing I miss from my old server, and that's sorting by popularity. The TMDB API provides a popularity score for movies and TV shows (see https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/popularity-and-trending). When requesting the details of movies (https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/movie-details) or TV shows (https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/tv-series-details), there is a "popularity" field in the JSON response. It is a number with no meaning of its own, but it is perfect for sorting. Would it therefore be possible to integrate sorting in the clients based on this popularity value?

Another interesting thing would be sorting by trends or a trending list, but I think that would be a little more complicated to integrate. Anyway, sorting by popularity would make me very happy for now.

Best,

lulan

Hi, yes sounds like a good idea.

It would be fantastic to have 'trending' ''popular' lists etc.  Is there any way of linking to Trakt lists?
