Custom TV and Movie playlists

General Discussions Plex Features

I am trying to create a playlist (smart or otherwise) that will include both TV shows and Movies. I want to arrange in a specific order and it picks up where I left off.

I have tried creating a smart playlist that includes the filters to get the movies and put a filter for unplayed so it removes the content once watched, but I can’t also add the TV shows. I also can’t arrange the smart playlist into a specific order like an unsmart playlist.
When I have a normal playlist that I can put in a custom order it won’t remember where I am up to.

Cheers for the help.

A smart playlist can only contain elements from one library. (it is actually just a filter)
Movies and TV shows cannot be in the same library.
What you want to do is unfortunately not possible in Plex.

Ok, then remove the Movie aspect is there a way to make a TV playlist accross multiple TV shows that I can have a cusom order and will keep upto where I have watched?

Depends on what you mean with “custom order”.
You can sort by “airing date”, like Watch crossover episodes of several series in-order

Air date does not work, for the order I want. none of the sortable filters put it in the correct order.

Then a dumb playlist is the maximum possible.

Can I get it to remember where I am up to so when I press play it plays the next episode (it always seems to go to the first episode on the list)

No, unfortunately not.
