My Favorites - Add a list of favorite TV Series and Movies

I see a heart under photos to add them to favorites, I see it under mkv files, but not under mp4 files. Does it make a difference if the library is a photo library or a video library? In my case all files are in the same photo library yet the mp4 file opens some other player interface and no longer has the option to select the heart icon.

The only thing consistent with this platform is how every client and release is always inconsistent in features, performance and bugs. If there was a better option to share media with family, that has smart tv support I would switch in a heartbeat.

came here for this. No idea why itā€™s not added as it seems so standard.

23

I second the request.

24

Yes, I would also like this. In fact, it is partly implemented already. I noticed that the Android App already has the heart icon for images and videos, but not music. Please implement it also for music (like Spotifyā€™s favorite list), and also across devices.

I donā€™t care whether I can do this already using some kind of workaround. Of course, you can handle this internally as playlist, fair enough, but I want an easy button for this. This is also the way Spotify implemented it.

This has my vote, a sorely lacking feature.

26

Iā€™m disappointed this still isnā€™t implemented

Yes, PLEASE add this. Iā€™d like to be able to click a little star next to a movie or tv series and then have a ā€œFavoritesā€ section that I can pin to the home screen. How is this not done?

28

I suppose most users who want this simply created a smart collection based on the user rating and published that to their home screen.

30

Yes, I donā€™t understand how this isnā€™t a thing yet, even jellyfin has favourites

31

You could also say the same about the Watchlist, but they added that, favourites and watchlist are the most basic features on a streaming platform.

32

Really could do with a favourite section so I can organize all my favourite shows or movies that I like.

33

have you considered a smart playlist per media type (e.g. 1 for favorite movies, 1 for favorite songs, tv showsā€¦)?

34

how do u do that?

35

You can go to your movie library and filter/sort it as you like (e.g. using only movies rated by you with at least 4 stars or movies with 8 or higher critics ratingā€¦, sorted by actual rating etc).
Custom filters are best for thisā€¦

When you have the movies showing the way you want them, click Add to Playlist (no need to select individual movies first).
Give the Playlist a name and youā€™re good.

When you check out your Playlists you will notice thereā€™s a little gear icon on that particular playlist. This indicates itā€™s a smart playlist.
If you add a new movie matching your criteria (or increase/decrease an existing movie rating), the playlist will automatically be updated and add or remove the movie accordingly.

Edit: The gear icon for the smart playlist is in the top-left corner of the playlist icon. Iā€™m e.g. using such a playlist to keep track of movies (or songs) I havenā€™t rated yet :smiley:

Another vote for favorites.

The playlist is an interesting workaround, but dedicated favorites per user would be a much better feature.
