Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Hey there, apologies if this has been requested already; I did a search, but I may not have used the right search terms.

I would like a menu that functions like as a general overview/dashboard for different media types in the one view, where I can see audiobooks and podcasts that I am currently listening to and easily resume.

It could be added to the existing dropdown menu for media types (books/podcasts), or as an omnipresent dashboard button at the top of the left hand menu or in the top left hand corner.

Why would this be helpful?

Easily find incomplete items of different media types in one place.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.19.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

No response

This is partially related to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/556.

There was another discussion somewhere about wanting to merge libraries, but I can't find it anywhere (don't remember if it was a GH issue, discussion, or on Discord). Libraries were designed as separate entities. There could probably be an "all books" or "all podcasts" library, but that would likely be limited to just the individual items instead of groupings (collections, playlists, series, authors, etc) since handling merging those across libraries would get complicated/have duplicates.
