I use Plex on my kids’ tablet for travel, where internet access isn’t always available (e.g., flights). To prepare, I sync a selection of kids’ movies to the device.
Previously, I relied heavily on smart playlists — for example, “Last 10 Family Movies Watched.” I would sync this playlist to the tablet so that, before each trip, I could simply refresh the sync and Plex would automatically pull down recently watched favorites.
Another common use case is a smart playlist of unwatched movies ranked by critic rating, allowing me to automatically sync the top 10 so there’s always something new to watch alongside manually synced titles.
With the new UI, it appears that syncing or downloading playlists and collections is no longer supported. This feature was extremely useful for managing offline content efficiently.
Please consider restoring or re-implementing the ability to sync playlists and collections in the new UI. It’s a major gap for those managing family devices, organize and automate their downloads.
