Duplicate Clone library options

[Airbender 128]

Hello all

Yesterday, while adding a library in Emby, I noticed there is no option to create a library based on a clone of an existing one. As a result, all advanced settings had to be added manually.

Typically, this wouldn't be an issue, but for users like me who are hard to please, it can be a lot of manual labor and work. Here’s an example:

When i added my personal data i had to create over 20 library as example: 

Business class 

AI Class 

Art 

History 

Biology

Youtube podcasting 

 

Now for TV show 

TV Shows 

Hindi TV Shows 

Children TV Shows 

Adult TV Shows 

 

Movies 

Adult movies 

International Movies 

Hindi Movies 

Anime Movies 

 

You see the problem here. since most library will have same setting that mean if user create a TV show and then clone rest tv show with same setting and only thing they need to manually do will be add the location for TV or movie or educational video that cant be automated or cloned i understand  but a clone library option will be extremely helpful so a user does not set and add all small setting from selection langue , country's , subtitled langue and metadata ect 

 

Please advise 

Thanks
