Can't determine location of duplicates when selecting for playback #195

As you can see in the below screenshot, if two folders in the same library contain the same file, it is impossible to tell which video you are selecting when choosing from the pick-list.

As it's unlikely that the Plex team will ever create options for prioritizing folders, displaying a folder ID or some other such identifier on this pick-list would be highly advantageous. For those backing up media to the cloud, this allows users to have recent media on the local drive with all media mounted on a cloud drive, and select the local media when such media exists.

Since posting this I found that a solution to the cloud backup option is to use unionfs. While this doesn't help identify the location of media, it does solve the issue at hand. This could be marked low priority, or just closed if the team feels it's not important enough for mass consumption.
