I’m solely creating all playlists and want to share them with my managed users, so I have to either manually log-in to every user and painstakingly recreate them (WebTools helps a bit but doesn’t work with smart playlists) or share them, which makes them appear in the Shared library, which is cumbersome to use (it’s full of redundant stuff) and just simply doesn’t work on many Plex clients (including my FireT…
