Suggestion Section with Continue Watching for Home Video Libraries

[Roxics 4]

I'm actually surprised this doesn't exist by default. Unless I somehow missed the option to turn it on.

I want to be able to continue watching home videos just like I do movies or TV shows. From a continue watching section in that library itself, along with the ability to see suggestions for other things in that library like unplayed videos or similar videos. I have no interest in displaying these videos on the home screen.

Thank you

Hi.  Continue watching I guess makes sense but, beyond that, I'm not sure what we'd show.  Most home videos have no metadata so it wouldn't be possible to know what was "similar".

Suggestions such as other unplayed videos or perhaps tags derived from file names or titles. Videos of similar length or resolution.

I'll give you an example. In my Plex setup, I've got 32 "other videos" libraries set up. That's beyond my libraries that use the movies and TV shows library types. 
When I go into each of those other videos libraries I have two tabs at the top "Recommended" and "Library" and it lands me on whatever I was the last to use. But in my Recommended tab there are four rows of videos you can scroll through horizontally:

Continue watching
Recently Added in *name of library*
Unwatched Videos
Recently Watched Videos

I constantly use all four rows of these. As I often have hundreds of videos in each library and adding new stuff all the time, so being able to navigate these libraries better is great. I could see having a fifth and six row that are Favorites and Most Played. If we could even create our own rows with our own criteria that would be even better but might be asking too much. Like for example highest bitrate or resolution or certain tags. Having collections tabs and stuff like you get in the movies section would also be cool.

Just curious if there has been any thought put into this.

It seems strange to me that a "Continue Watching" or "Latest (Added)" section is limited to movie and TV show library types and not all other library types like Home Videos and Music Videos and Mixed Content.
Aside from those two, it would be great to also have a row of "Recently Watched" videos in case I wanted to watch them again (maybe it's been a while since I've looked in that library) and a row of randomly selected "Unwatched Videos" from that library suggested to me.

I think adding the same Suggestions tab that we have in movie libraries could make sense.

That would be great.
