Having support for sub catagories

Wouldnt be a sub catagory be nice?

I now have it like this:


But it would be niceer to have under movies (all at my example) has subfolders like marvel, james bond, fast and furious. etc…

Is this already possible maybe somebody knows a trick!

Instead of creating a separate library for each of your desired category of movie, create a single library with all of your movies and then use Collections to group them. Assuming your “All” library already contains your full movie collection, that would be a great place to start.

If you have a Plex Pass categories are displayed based on genres.

kinda getting what i was searching for but this will be alots of work:

You can configure Plex to automatically create collections. This will cover your typical movie franchise (e.g. James Bond, The Fast and the Furious…). To use this feature you need to set > Manage Library > Edit...Advanced > Minimum automatic collection size to anything but Disabled.

You can also use smart collections for some of your use cases (advanced filter → save as → smart collection).

that one is set already ot uitgeschakeld (disabled)

ah i misunderstood anything but not disabled :smiley: im trying now, changed it to 3 nothing happens, it might need some time to create collections do

You might need to refresh the metadata of the items in your library for Plex to pick up collections.
Keep in mind that automatic collections won’t apply to items where you manually set a collection (or locked the collection tag field).
