Ability to disable filmography

I would like an option to disable the new filmography section that have made it into public availability version 4.10.0.40.

The new view feels very cluttering. And since there are no connections between the titles in the filmography section to the titles on the server (names, descriptions, years, posters, etc.) it also feels very disconnected from the rest of the server. Finally, having such complete lists feels less like useful information and more like a highlight of contents missing from the server which isn't the effect I want for my server.

From a use-case perspective, I would never got to Netflix or Disney+ to see a complete list of movies that an actor/director/whatever have been a part of. For that I would go to IMDb, TMDB, tvdb or similar. I expect Emby to function more like the former than the latter.

I can see that this has been a long standing feature request from some users, so I understand that a request to remove it completely would be counter-productive. But an option to disable this globally from the server would be much appreciated.

HOWEVER...

Splitting the titles by how the person contributes (actor/director/whatever) is an awesome addition. As is the extra information about the name of the character played by an actor. If this information and split could find its way to the "normal" film section (the one with titles on the from the server) I think that could make that section even more useful than it already is.

Hi, do you really think it's cluttering even though it's all the way at the bottom?
