Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Two (or more) users on the server. One user doesn't want to watch some series that are being added to JF. Would rather not even see those series in latest media, or Next up.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add another option to the favorite button. Normal/Favorite/Ignore(or Hide) would be the 3 states. Hidden items would never appear on the home page, or in Latest media or Next up. Would only appear in TV Show view with Hidden enabled as a filter.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've considered creating separate directories to store series that the other user does not care about. Put all the series in there, add that directory to tv library. But then each user can not set what they can about. And it gets more difficult with more users.

Additional context

This will require database tweaks (favorites are stored in the userdisplayprefs iirc), so it (probably) won't happen until the migration to ef core is complete.

That said, I agree. This should be possible. Unhiding is a bit of a UX challenge, but we would need to tackle that at the same time for this.

Would it be best to have a toggle option along the top bar that shows hidden items and lets you unhide that way? Or some other idea...?

Heres what I imagine to unhide.

Go to TV Shows page. Open filter menu. Hidden will be a new option under "Filters". Check Hidden. Hidden items will now be displayed, allowing user to navigate to them and unhide them.
