This is the only thing missing for me in XBMC, everything else pretty much runs exactly to my needs, however I currently have to ignore my sports and anime collections (and get to them through file mode instead) just because they create quite a messy library if scraped along with the rest.
I understand playlists could sort it out to some degree, but it really is more of a workaround than a proper solution.

I'm no coder so afraid i can't help with this one but just thought i'd mention that when i used to use meedio (before google bought them) they had a great library/view system. It took a bit to learn but once up and running it worked great. I know that doesn't help directly but maybe it can help with ideas.

I agree Xbmc needs the option for multiple video libraries. Xbmc also needs the option to have one of the custom libraries password protected if one so chooses.
As XBMC stands right now it’s a total nightmare to clump my wife’s workout videos, How-to videos, documentaries, home movies and any adult videos into multiple playlists. First off all her workout videos can be imdb’d. However I can’t do that because if I do it shows up in my library list of movies. So they have to stay unscraped in the playlist. Second having to use multiple playlist’s also puts user friendliness in the toilet. Which is a major issue for most people not as computer savvy.
I’ve been using Xbmc for about six weeks now and have had my hand on my wallet to donate for the last two. I love it but I also see some short comings that really do need addressing. Multiple video libraries rates #1 on my list of improvements Xbmc needs.

Profiles can be used to create multiple libraries as each profile has it's own Library. As standard the switching between profiles is a bit long winded, however although it's not something I've done myself, I believe keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to the action of switching profiles which can then be assign to a remote button if you have one for single button switching, and for those with adult stuff Profiles support passwords/passcodes.
