My Features Wishlist for 2025

[Klonsebakke]

For the new year 2025, here is my wishlist to make the great Plex experience even better.

1. Under “Recently Added in Movies/TV-Series” make it possible to “Remove from…”. It is possible to do under Section “Keep Watching” so this should be easy.

2. Activate movie Extras in more places (Apple TV, Roku and so on). It is hard to understand why it is active in the web version and on for example iOS but not on all platforms that people use.

I placed this under a new thread since it seems like these issues and requests are forgotten when embedded into other threads (ghosted?) by the developers.
This way it can be a live thread where also the developers can get the opportunity to give their view on when these features can be implemented that have been requested by so many users for so long.
Also feel free to post your requests for 2025 in this thread.

I wish you all a Happy and peaceful New Year 2025

Under “Recently Added in Movies/TV-Series” make it possible to “Remove from…”.

There’s a feature suggestion discussing this (incl. pros and cons).

Remove show from "Recently added..." list

Why can’t I remove a movie or TV show from the recently added list? I’m trying to convert my movies to a different format. So I copy the new format in with the old format so it won’t go on the recently added list but some bypass that and show up there anyway. Plex dance doesn’t correct it either. It would be nice to have in the drop down to remove it from the recently added list in case I’m just changing my library around. My users are confused as to why old movies are showing up again as n…

What exactly are you missing and on what specific platforms?
Movie extras are 100% supported on the Apple TV client.
The only gap I’m aware of relates to extras for tv content. Not all clients support extras for all tiers of a tv show library (show, season, episode).

The level of support is documented on the related support article.

In addition there’s a feature suggestion addressing this gap (again… focusing on tv content; not aware of any gaps for movie extras).

Display tv-show extras for shows, seasons and episodes in all apps

I am a recent convert from Emby to Plex. I like how Plex groups the extras by the sub-folders (ex: Behind The Scenes, Deleted Scenes, etc.) But, there is still an issue with TV extras that I found after ripping all of The Office (2005) with all of the extras. I went through and named each and put each extra in the correct folder. The issue arises because there’s 188 episodes with almost every ep has an associated deleted scene. So, for me to get to any extra other than Deleted Scene (or one…

The ability to use dvr functions (record, ff, rew, pause) for the streaming channels would make Plex my go to for most of my viewing even if it meant fees.

Won’t happen due to licensing issues.

[chuckebbighausen]

We can still wish for it.

You can feed the Plex streaming channels into Channels DVR as an IPTV source and record them there…I do it all the time

Allow secondary sorting of music when viewing in “Folders”. I shouldn’t be forced to dump all 20,000+ songs into one folder in order to view by albums.

Seems really basic.

[chuckebbighausen]

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked into Channels DVR. It looks interesting but I think I’d want to stay within Plex.

[Lazarus_Long]

Just add the Channels DVR recording folder into your Plex library - then you can just watch them in Plex. Don’t even need to use the Channels client.

Thanks. Sounds like a project worth trying.
