The filter would look something like this
Duration || is less than || 2hr 15m
I have a decently sizeable library with films ranging from 12 minutes to 13 hours. It would be nice to be able to filter out longer films and/or short films when looking for something to watch.
+1 for this, but in music as well. I have a lot of game and movie soundtracks, and being able to filter out sound effects and shorter songs would be a great feature.
Clearly a +1 for me, it would be great. For my sports library with short highlight and full game.
+1 for TV Shows as well.
+1
Still a thing that this user/admin would like to see.
+1 Was about to submit my own request.
With a family, my viewing times are often restricted, and typically up to a maximum of 2 hours, sometimes less. It would be fantastic to be able to filter films based on duration so that I can quickly find a candidate for viewing, rather than have to check each film individually for itās runtime.
+1 for music (filter by track duration)
+1. Really it would be nice to have filters for everything that you can sort by. We often are looking for a well rated movie thatās under two hours. Neither can be filtered on so you have to sort by one or the other, and click in and out of 100 movies to find one that works for you.
+1.
I sometimes like to put my entire music collection on random for the day, but i want to ignore some huge ambient tracks that are like 1hr long (which seem to suspiciously come on a lot).
Yes please
I tried making a āvideo game musicā smart collection, just based on some album keywords and artist names, but I had no way of filtering out the short jingles and sound effects that are only a few seconds long. This would help a lot!
I also find it quite strange that you canāt filter by all of the attributes you can sort byā¦
In this post, @elan mentions that they plan to expose filtering by duration as soon as they resolve the performance issue. However, that thread is specific to Plexamp - hereās to hoping that it is a server-wide change that is not specific to Plexamp, etc.
It would be.
Great! This will be helpful.
Trying to identify a collection of hour+ radio/dj-mix shows scattered amongst a very large music library is a nightmare in PLEX.
Track length filters are REQUIRED!
Being able to easily drop short skits or those 6 second silent tracks used to āhideā songs at the end, as well as filtering out hour long mixes or live session recordings would be extremely useful in making smart playlists.
I canāt believe that this isnāt already an option.
One more +1 for this. 272 DAYS of music across 42k tracks (just in unheard). Not trying to flex with those numbers, but to put it into perspective. If I want to listen to short tracks (say sub 10 minutes) I can have that in one playlist and longer tracks in another. I used to do this out of the box in itunes (ick) and I lament not having it here.
I know you can just skip to the next track but it would be super cool to have. If iām in a room with people and for whatever reason they want to listen to this (lol), being able to show them a diaspora of music without having to curate on the fly between short-and-sweet and long-and-potentially annoying would be cool. IIRC thereās like 27k tracks in there sub 10m alone.
create index track_duration on track(duration)
My reason for this is that I have lots of music made by DJs, and I also have live sets by them. I wanted to make a smart playlist of sets by DJ Zinc, and an easy way to do this would be Artist = Zinc and Duration > 20min. Wah poor me.
+1 for this ā I have a āOther Videosā library setup so that I can view just videos taken from my phone (saved to NAS) on the TV (via the Plex app). Problem is that this library picks up all videos including the āLive Photosā videos which are only 1 or 2 seconds long.
With this feature Iād be able to create a smart playlist / collection showing all videos with a duration over 5 seconds so that I can play through videos excluding those short Live Photo videos.
This would be really useful for movies for my family. My wife has a very small window of time she can watch a movie for. By the end of the evening sheās always crashing and after spending 15 minutes trying to filter the relevant genres she likes and then sorting by duration to find something she can actually stay awake for sheās already bored,. fed up of spending so much time searching and either already starting to drift off or given up on the idea.
Iād love to be able to create a smart collection of films 90 minutes and under of her favourite genres (comedy, drama, thriller) that we can immediately go to and take our pick from.
Please deliver this feature <3 !
