I would like a custom episode ordering so I can have Plex skip auto skip some episodes in a series.
For example, I would set it to skip all the filler episodes in bleach. I was thinking like the option to place my own custom numbers for the order its played in or a checkbox\green button to include certain episodes in autoplay.
Give the filler episodes a low “Star” rating.
Then set up a smart playlist which only accepts episodes with a certain rating above of X.
You can take this as inspiration: Watch crossover episodes of several series in-order
Thank you! This works well for me!
Alternatively you could use a dumb/regular playlist or even episode collections.
I’ve been using those e.g. to get a streamlined view on the main story / arcs of some anime (e.g. the Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex storylines “Laughing Man” and “Individual Eleven”).
I second this suggestion. Years ago I ran into a suggestion someone had worked out for a custom episode order for Season One of Space: 1999. The custom order made much better sense in terms of believing which episodes would logically take place after which others. And for that matter, the original Star Trek aired out of production order, and therefore out of Star Date order. To put it back in Star Date order would be a fascinating change.
2024 clean-up:
- implemented: custom options available using smart (e.g. skipping low-rated episodes) or classic collections/playlists (see above)
- duplicate: option to apply custom orders from TMDb/TVDb → see Support Alternate Order / Flexible Seasons (TVDB) [implemented] and Episode Groups (TMDB) [open]
