Before downloads was launched back when we had sync and on deck, it was possible to sync it to our devices.
This was handy as when on the go or in places without internet briefly, I’d have a bigger chance of wanting to watch someone in my on deck rather than having to sync a show in particular.
Now this has been removed and it would nice to have it back, and potentially better than before.
On top of being able to download the continue watching section, the following options would make it so much more powerful (and make downloads as a whole OP IMO)
- Ability to choose wether to sync TV shows only, movies only, or both.
- For TV shows, ability to sync current + x number of episodes (so if you watch something and want to follow up with the next episode, it’ll also be available offline as it wouldn’t have been listed in continue watching yet).
- It goes without saying that deletion and conversation settings would be the same as any other download task
This was one of the main reasons I switched to a lifetime Plex pass years ago and I miss this feature so much. I’d love to have it back.
If the community has any additional points to add to this, please do!
As always, thanks to the Plex team for making Plex awesome.
(P.S. this wouldn’t be all too useful if background downloads isn’t implemented on iOS - see my other feature suggestion and please upvote it also)
