Toggles to enable/disable a media provider

Issue description:

hi! first time here & great to see the forum integration w the app!

I have multiple media providers I am evaluating on Kodi, Emby, Jellyfin, Plex & I have multiple instances of each evaluating different platforms (macOS, multiple Linux distros)

I dont see a way to disable a provider:

Settings - Manage media providers

Use this part of the application to manage your providers. [image] Click on any provider to edit their settings. You can reorder the providers with the drag handle on the left. This only impact the global filter view if you want to control the order displayed. (Globally filter displayed data (Media providers, libraries, only offline media, ...)) Press the 3 dots menu for more actions. [image] You can force a sync (But it’s faster to do it from the filter menu: [Wiki] Sync media provider …

it doesn’t work to have to delete and readd a provider all the time.

it would be nice to checkmark the providers that are active at any given time otherwise this app is not as useful as it could be in its current state.

Globally filter displayed data (Media providers, libraries, only offline media, ...)

Symfonium offer a consolidated view of all your media providers and their libraries. There might be times where you want to filter the visible data to only show specific libraries or media that are only available offline for example. If you enable the Available offline filter, then only media that are cached locally will be played. Note: A lot of screens also have contextual filters that only apply to them. See Sort, filter and configure display modes in library views You can do that easily …

I didn’t see the separate feature request link. I don’t know if this platform is flexible enough to allow for different forks.

I updated my post.

Have you noticed that I gave you the answer to your question too ?

And no platform can prevent people from not reading

ok we are going off topic here. yes you are correct and please consider a single flow.

I discovered there was a design decision to implement this functionality as a “filter”

I don’t have edit permission to your wiki to update this page:

You might also misunderstand the concept of this setting - because it is a filter. The provider is not “disabled”. Its content is just not shown. But the data is still in the Symfonium database.

yes understood - it is a different way of looking at the world

it might be good to put in the documentation to redirect those who go to “manage media providers” as this might more intuitive for some & for others, see some providers as mutually exclusive. (there might be a case for having both to keep the UI clean!)
