I disagree about that.
- The other thread is in no way “resolved” – the OP expressly stated that smart collections will do the job for them but the thread itself is perfectly open and valid.
- As for votes… the existing suggestion has almost 20 votes while you didn’t even vote for your own suggestion.
I’m happy to emphasize in the other thread that the OP found a workaround for themselves and that the suggestion isn’t “resolved”. However, please respect the rules for feature suggestions and don’t insist on maintaining a duplicate thread – that’ll only further distract votes and attention. You’re perfectly welcome to make that exact point in the existing thread (e.g. pointing out that you still deem it a necessary feature as the approach using published collections doesn’t cut it for your use case – using the example you gave about toggling the hubs vs. smart collections just covering 1 aspect but not allowing any toggling).
I’ll therefore close this thread as a duplicate (again).
No disrespect to you as a paying customer of Plex. Just maintaining some order in the chaos of a feature suggestion forum
