Lock images, Multi-item metadata edit, Collection library settings, TV smooth scroll, and more...

[LordVZlomka 6]

Hi, I would like to pitch a couple of ideas for a future update.

1. Ability to lock images like metadata (I had an issue where a song had a picture embedded, and even if I deleted/replaced the picture in Emby, it would get reset after a library scan).
2. Ability to edit metadata for multiple items at the same time (for example, I have 20 songs and I want to set the artist and album once, instead of going file by file).
3. Ability to edit the "Collection" library like the Movies, Shows, Music, etc (Refresh metadata, Scan library files, remove and rename).
4. Smooth library scroll on TVs (I'm using Samsung Smart TV running Tizen OS).
5. Expand the "Copy settings from user" feature by adding the ability to set default Display, Home screen, Playback, Subtitles, profile (like what if I want a default picture for every user), and notifications. This way, I don't have to guide every user in turning on Backdrop images and other stuff.
6. Ability to translate the Movie, shows, Music, and other library metadata like the title, overview, cast names, etc, when the language of the UI is changed. Perhaps an additional field could be created where selected translations would reside, allowing users to modify them as needed by editing the metadata. Most people would have 1-3 languages in their household, but it's weird when only the UI gets translated.
7. Ability to set global images for media that lack any images. Currently, if the media is missing images, there is no backdrop or primary image. It would be cool if we could set default images to kick in if no other images are present. In my case, most of my music is in Russian, and the metadata suck. Album images never get pulled, so I have to do it manually. In the meantime, the default images would help the library avoid looking blank.
8. Ability to customize the Suggestions, Trailers, Favorites, Collections, Genres, Folders sections from the Movies navigation bar, the Upcoming, Networks, Episodes, and folders from the TV shows navigation bar, etc (should be included in feature request 5).
9. On the Android app for mobile, the navigation bar at the bottom is missing the TV shows, Music, Audio Book, etc, libraries; only Collections and Movies are displayed along Downloads, Search, and Home. Maybe make it scrollable to the right?
10. Ability to set the default audio and subtitle tracks to the desired language. For example, if my media is in two languages (English and Russian), and the media metadata specifies the track language, automatically select English as the default. 
11. Ability to customize whether the media will split into pages when it exceeds a certain amount, like 100 movies per page (should be included in feature request 5)
12. The ability for the Collection, Music, Audio Books (Movies and TV shows Backdrop rotation works perfectly) libraries to automatically select and rotate a Backdrop from media within it if a user did not upload one already.

Thank you!
