Reviving this old thread with same feature request. Export Tools is not a solution for me (“Sadly, dev work has been put on hold, due to plugins been discontinued by Plex”). Plex needs a baked-in “export to csv” or “export list” option that will allow you to export things like a playlist, export a filtered list of your movies, or export a list of your entire catalog out of Plex for purposes of backup and recordkeeping. Currently, you can’t even copy/paste from the browser, so one resorts to screenshots. Please - export solution! ---

ExportTools is still working, provided you update it to the latest release. ---

Yes, a built in Import / Export of Playlists. I am rebuilding my Playlists right now, I only have 614 albums/songs and it is taking me weeks. I know in the next year I am going to be moving my Plex Media Server to a new computer and will have to do this all over. We need a built in solution! I don’t want to go to a third party website and use a third party tool that requires a process to go through and a lot of people have trouble with. Will ---

Early 2021 clean-up: - export playlist as list (e.g. csv) → available via 3rd party (e.g. ExportTools) - export playlists (e.g. as m3u) → duplicate [FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to export playlists and import them back into Plex](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-ability-to-export-playlists-and-import-them-back-into-plex/186986) - export m3u files + media (e.g. to USB stick) → duplicate [Export music playlist to m3u+media](https://forums.plex.tv/t/export-music-playlist-to-m3u-media/454877) ---
