I’ve created a custom filter of music. After applying my filter I see that X albums are eligible. When I click play and then open the playing queue I see a larger number of albums in the queue. I get the same behavior when I add a custom filter to the a playlist. It appears as though the custom filter is ignored as soon as I try to use it somehow.
Is this a software issue or am I missing something?
Which filter parameters did you use?
Maybe supply a screenshot of your filters.
Seems like it’s linked to the “album genre” if I use more than 1 rule for Album Genre it breaks.
When I save as a playlist the track count jumps to over 1800.
Create the filter anew.
After typing in Christmas, hit the Enter key, then type immediately Children's (then Enter again)
both these search terms are now appearing in one line, with an OR between them.
Do the same for the two ‘Album Title’ search terms.
I’ve tried that. Those OR don’t work properly with the “is not” condition from my experience. They get evaluated separately and effectively wipe each other out. I’ll try again…
Actually, I have found an open bug report about this. So it is at least known as an issue.
@OttoKerner could you share a link to the bug report? I’m also currently affected by this issue. Thanks!

I cannot. It is not publicly accessible.

Is this bug the same as I am seeing with this filter on my library?
That filter works fine in the library and shows only films which have both the Comedy and Horror in their genres (AND filter), but when adding to a smart playlist it includes all Comedy films and ignores the Horror genre completely. Swapping them around so Comedy is first results in the playlist containing all Horror films and ignoring Comedy.
It might be a similar issue, yes.
I know it hasn’t been very long since this was asked, but any update on this bug? Despite using Plex since the early OS X only days, I only now started messing with custom filters/playlists to try and streamline some video optimization, and ran into this bug it seems. Trying to get all TV episodes from last 7 days, but exclude daily stuff like Jeopardy or NBC Nightly News, as soon as I add more than one of those, the filter just breaks and I get the items I am trying to filter out.
Does the bug report show an expected resolution build version, anything like that?
Thank you!
What is the status of the bug report? As far as I can tell, it still seems to be present in the latest version of Plex… is there a fix in sight?
Sorry, I have nothing new to share at the moment.
Either fix this issue or refund everyone their Plex Pass subscription fee. This is getting ridiculous.
