A lot of my created playlists use the smart playlist tool on the web. If you are a user of this tool you know that the ways and amount of “rules / criteria” can be literally endless.

Once the criteria of the playlist runs its course (ex. track plays is less than 1 - i.e. songs that have never been played), you have to go back and recreate the smart playlist with new / updated criteria. It can be hard to remember the exact criteria that the original playlist was made with.

It would be great it you could add an EDIT option. I have seen an “edit filters” option, but that does not bring up all the criteria that the playlist was made with …

Thanks for reading / considering

Stay safe, stay inside and have a great day

PS, (and I know its been requested) being ale to add a “cover (custom picture)” to the playlist would be grand 😀 This would be helpful when scanning the playlists to find a particular one to play

It’s already there, (albeit still a little buggy). Use the hosted web app [https://app.plex.tv](https://app.plex.tv)  
And this is a duplicate request anyway. [[implemented] Ability to view and edit conditions/tags in Smart Playlists](https://forums.plex.tv/t/implemented-ability-to-view-and-edit-conditions-tags-in-smart-playlists/138513/1)
