Feature Request - Show TV Series Information

Plex would be SOOOO much more amazing if it had one simple little feature…

The ability to display TV Series with the information like;

  • Is the series still running or is it ended
  • How many episodes are in each season/series
  • How many episodes are in the library

What I am describing has already been done perfectly in Sonarr and it would be amazing to see this simple little feature implemented in in Plex.

Sonarr color codes the series to show me if I have everything, if it is incomplete and if the series is still in production or if it has ended. It’s so very simple and elegant. Since Plex is supposed to be complete library management I would think this to be a no-brainer. But before you go saying… “well why don’t you just keep using Sonarr if you like it so much…”, the answer is because I shouldn’t have to maintain two libraries. When I have a complete series in the quality I want then I would like to remove it from Sonarr to make management easier.

If we had this feature in Plex then my wife and kids would be able to see at a glance if a series was complete, or if they are still waiting on episodes etc.

Besides until I loaded my library in Sonarr I assumed I had complete collections that I simply did not. Boy was I shocked.

PLEX we want this!

Not wanting to bring up Emby in yet another thread, it does have that facility to show missing episodes… So I agree it would be great to see it in Plex.

I have read a bit about Emby and I won’t totally rule out ever trying it, however I already have a Lifetime Plex Pass (since 2013), so I am pretty invested in the Plex-iverse.

Perhaps if Plex adds some features people actually want and polish ones it has rather than focusing on all these new gimmicks to try and make more money, then people wouldn’t be jumping ship to Emby and others…??
