If we go to edit a library, we have the option to _show collections and their items, hide items that are in collections_, and _disabled_… That is a Library-wide option.

It would be great if the options _show collections and their items + hide items that are in collections_ where also in the _edit collection_ window and could overwrite the Library-wide option.

How would I use it:  
I have a Must-Watch Collection for my movies sorted to be the first item in movies, for this collection I want to show items and their collection.  
Then I have collections (LOTR, Harry Potter etc.), For these, I want to Hide items and only show the collections.

Now, if a Movie is in 2 collections ( eg Must-watch and LOTR ) it makes sense to me that hide Items would overwrite the show items option.

- 1 on this. Totally agree. Similar implementation as the Live TV & DVR 's “Remove Commercials” option (PLEX Pass) - where you have a “Global” setting at the DVR settings level, and a “local” setting at the show Record Options level.

Can I request another change for the Auto-Collections function…

Just discovered it and think it is great, but where there is only one movie in a library pertaining to a collection, can we not have it in a collection all on its own. In other words, the parameter for a ‘Collection’ is two or move movies within the same library.

Thankyou, but cannot afford Plexpass (would like to get one though). I will make the assumption though that this has been brought up before.

Hi Tom, am not sure what is wrong, but for some reason your link takes me nowhere.

Apologies… the link points to the feature request subforum which is restricted to Plex Pass members.
