Since sync has gone away, I’ve been using smart playlists/collections to manage my synced content.
For the kids tablets, I have a smart playlist that grabs all the TV shows marked with a label “KIDS”. I have an option to grab only “unwatched” episodes, but no way to limit the number of “unwatched” episodes per show. If show A has 50 unwatched episodes, show B has 25 unwatched episodes and show C has 100 unwatched episodes, there isn’t a good way to have a collection/smart playlist grab the next 10 episodes of each. I can limit to 30 episodes, but then I only get 30/50 episodes of show A.
I know I can go through and select Download for each show and select next 10 unwatched… but it’s much more seamless to just have Plex sync a specific playlist/collection.
