[Feature] Video Playlists

Feature Suggestions
1

Hi,

 

 

 

Something that I think Plex is missing is a playlist feature. Some things I'd like playlists to be able to do are:

 

  • All playlists can be a predetermined length (10 episodes, or 2 hours (rounded), or infinite)
  • Generate playlists based on previously watched episodes (per user, needs a recommendation engine)
  • Generate playlists based on filter criteria (e.g. Genre: Comedy, Resolution: 720p, 1080p, etc)
  • Ability to watch a suggested episodes, or an unwatched episodes playlist
  • Support for all major clients (iOS, Web, Android (Google TV too!), Roku, etc)

 

That's all I'm thinking so far, I'm sure a lot of it is flawed (playlist duration will be hard to code without cutting off the last episode, etc. Maybe use "up to n hours", that's easier).

Think this is the only feature that Plex is lacking all else would be a bonus but this is really needed.
