I know for SURE this feature has been requested many many times. It’s all over other forums too, but I wanted to do my part to request it formally too. I’d love to be able to create collections within collections, obviously to clean up my movie libraries. With that, I would also love for a way to have more control over each single video wether for it to show in main library or not. Right now, I have a collection for certain niche genres, I don’t necessarily want those movies showing in main library, but if one of those movie is also in another collection that you DO want to “show items” then it will automatically show in the library. I wish there was a way to manually go into that movie and tell plex EXACTLY what to do with that movie. maybe a list of which collections a movie is in with a check box of where you want it to show up, so you can literally just checkbox the locations you want that movie to show or not show up in.

It would probably be best to vote your support here:

> A nice feature(for me at least) would be to have collections inside collections. For example. Have one overall collection called Star Wars, with the Prequel, OG, and new trilogy collections inside of it. Same kind of thing for the LotR/Hobbit movies. I’m sure others will find other uses for it. Maybe genre collections, actor collections, etc.

Your thread will likely be closed.
