Hiding Categories with no attached media

Hi,

I’m wondering if there would be some way of hiding categories from appearing on the mediacat-library page which do not have any media in them.

The idea behind this is to provide people a set of uniform categories to use and they populate them as they wish. However there is a likelihood that some of the categories we provide will not have any media in them at all, so on the frontend search, I don’t want these categories to appear as filter options.

I assume this will require some playing around with the php of the output, but I’m unsure where to start.

Many thanks,
Jake
