There are a few new filters that would be nice for making smart playlists.
Current date filters - A filter you can set based on the current day/month. You could make one playlist of ALL your holiday movies, and set it to only play certain movies during the respective holiday seasons. One playlist with a rule group for each holiday:
Match Any of the following
–Match all of the following
----Current Month is October
----Collection is Halloween
–Match All of the Following
----Current Month is December
----Collection is Christmas
You could also include Days of the week to have one playlist mimic network programming blocks. One playlist could show NBC’s Must See TV on Thursday, then ABC’s TGIF shows on Friday.
I’d even say to go a little more granular and include time of day.
Something like this would be great for users like my parents or sister, that are used to watching different shows on specific days, or that don’t necessarily want to scroll through several libraries to pick what they want to watch.
