+1 Would like shared playlists
+1 - Please add this feature!
+1 Please add this.
I would not only like to see a tick on/off for sharing certain playlist but I would also like to see a tick for “allow duplicate items in playlist” for when you accidentally add songs or movies twice in your playlist.
Hope everyone isn’t just "+1"ing this thread, that way your votes won’t count!
Would have been sweet to be able to share a “best of horror” playlist today on Friday the 13th!

4 years in the waiting… I’m not sure doing anything counts!

Yeah I know… even tough it “looks” like a simple thing to implement!
Please, this feature would make Plex 100% the best full-functioning media server.
Would also love this. What is the 4 year hold-up about?
You can use a python script to share playlists to shared users. Here is the script. And here is a fun playlist idea.

Thanks @Blacktwin, going to add both to my server tonight
Are you running them as cron jobs btw?
Using a cron job (linux) or task (windows) should work fine.
Wow, this looks like fun @Blacktwin. Can anyone point me to a web page that helps me understand how I add a script? I know my QNAP is running Python but I have no idea how to access it and how to add a script. Been searching on google and not getting any results that will help me. Seems QNAP Community site is down which probably doesn’t help!
It’s a big ask I know! I do love to learn new things. Thanks.
+1 on share playlists
+1 Really need this feature. Netgear Readynas and Synology DiskStation
+1, sharing would much more flexible with this feature, make plex flex 
+1 really need to have this. start by just having a check for the server admin to make a playlist “shared”. Just start by not listing items in a share list that they don’t have access too.
+1 sharing a playlist would be an awesome feature.
+1, this would change my plex life

I actually want this feature for a whole different reason from most. I go through on TV shows that interweave (Like Arrow and Flash) and build the correct viewing order into a playlist. It would be nice for others to be able to utilize this list. Even if it was an export/import or something.
@KnightCat83, Do you do this through the dynamic playlist option, or do you manually update as new episodes are added?
I was just reading something earlier via a google search regarding the plexAPI… inside the python plexAPI, there appears to be a function in the playlist module/library to “copy_to” another user… I haven’t read the entire thing, but thought it was interesting…
Link to PlexAPI on readTheDocs.io: python-plexapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/playlist.html
Direct link to the function within the API: python-plexapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/plexapi/playlist.html#Playlist.copyToUser
Does anyone (from moderators, to developers, to general users) have any insight into this???
