I’m the Plex server owner in a non-techie household and the current system is unusable. 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 …

Hi MovieFan.Plex, Hope you’re doing well. Can I just say, it’s really frustrating having been a Plex user for over 6 years (first became a paid customer in 2015). I’m not blaming you, but it’s really REALLY obvious a lot of basic core features are not maintained, tested, or even cared about. I have…

Hi again, thank you for replying! [image] anon18523487: What do you mean unusable? Please see Ari’s messages. Shared playlists appearing in the shared library is cumbersome at best (for a non-techie it is confusing having playlists appear in multiple places), and depending on the Plex clien…

Totally agree with Shared being more accessible. It would be nice to be able to see easily what’s shared other users. Currently, when you click on the 3 dots on a Playlist icon and select Share, you get this page. A green checkmark appears next to the selected user, you can only select one user a…

Just adding in my 2 cents. When I shared my Marvel MCU Playlist with family members, they all said “Hey but my Playlist doesn’t list that playlist, I cannot find it”. I literally had to walk them all through pinning the shared entry. Which brought questions like “Why do I see the TV library he…

I guess collections are the new playlists now. I’ve always assumed that collections were for e.g. “Toy Story 1-4” and playlists were for “Best Movies from the '90s” but I guess it’s all collections now. My only gripe with that is that collections don’t work across libraries, but other that than, it …

Coming back for my once a year checkin and no progress since my last post nearly 11 months ago. That’s par for the course. Hope you’re doing well. Can I just say, it’s really frustrating having been a Plex user for over 6 years (first became a paid customer in 2015). I’m not blaming you, but it’s …

I can reproduce the issue. I will let the team know. Can you provide an update on this?

Are you referring to the issue I was responding to? That was solved a while ago. Or are you referring to this request? We don’t give updates for feature requests.

I’m referring to one of the issues that was brought up (managed users not being able to change posters for playlists) - This still appears to be broken on my build (4.84.1)
