Dynamic Media New Features

[ados8 60]

Creating this as a perhaps perpetual recommendation list for new features.

Starting things off, my top request is to bring this to the apps; web only is disappointing.
At first I thought this was due to the legacy TV app but it's also on the modern app as well.
When this is supported it should match your main account so you don't need to set it per app.

Second really nice to have is stackable options.
Example, 'sort by', so you could have critic and community ratings in a single section etc.

This might be too difficult, but an algorithm based suggestion list.
This could be a simple as movie which has been watched by x percentage of the users on the server, not to be confused with most plays.
So a movies or TV show that has been completely watched by a set amount, say 70% of users, will show as a suggested to users who have not seen it.

Hi.  With the possible exception of one or two of the bespoke TV manufacturer apps that take forever to update, this is fully supported by all our apps already.  Why do you think it isn't?

I'm afraid I don't understand this.  We have sort by now.  What are you trying to "stack"?

I believe there may be one or two plugins that can do this for you now.

I have a zidoo z9x with Google Play, running the Emby app (regular not "for Android tv") and I don't have the spotlights showing even though it's selected, they just show up as cards. not sure why? it says the version is 3.5.55 and no updates available. is that the most recent version? 

I also have one feature request. It would be great if single collections could be sorted by "random" like dynamic media can.

Do you have the enhanced home screen enabled? It's not compatible with the Spotlight display.

It is with the TV app.

That's not the app @kizunarae is using, though.

I understand.  I just wanted to be sure the options were clear.
