No plans for nested collection support. We all know this is because the users want this, therefore, it’s an automatic no from Plex.
Planned work, translates to as always lip service…the feature might be possible sometime in the next decade, which also translates into a big no.
Hello fellow users,
Request for realm folders.
I see there’s a fair amount of demand for them (2018 to date)… but I see the addition of a Realm folder (recursive or not) as valuable for end users, as well as easier management on the server. That’s what Information Technology should be about: making difficult things easier.
We can create folders for movies, TV shows, music, and other things in the library. (Request) Can special folders be created (for example, a “realm”) to hold a collection of other folders?
For example, you could create a “Star Wars” folder to store movies and TV shows belonging to that realm.
The same applies to creating a “Star Trek” realm or any other realm of your choice.
Folders within a realm automatically inherit the access rights of that realm (which doesn’t mean they can be revoked).
Regards,
P
Late to the party but adding my request for nested collections. It would be the single best improvement Plex could make. Appreciate the ask has been out there for a long time now, but I live in hope!!
Same. I don’t need to see all 12 Friday the 13th films in my “Halloween (Season)” collection. It would be nice to see 1 instance of Friday the 13th in that collection, then click on it, and it brings you to the actual Friday the 13th collection…
Just as a note to any future hopefuls of this feature: If you’re just starting with Plex, stop before you get too deep and go with Jellyfin or something else. The writing is on the wall: Plex sold out and stopped listening. If you’re not the 3 or 4 Plex employees watching the ad supported crap or rentals, your voice doesn’t matter. They’re going to let these gaping voids in the REAL product exist because they don’t want to promote any home plex media servers because they want to get away from that segment completely (and abandon its primary user base). The last joke of a “Pro Week” Q&A all but confirmed it. Not sure where they thought I wanted my Plex Pass money to go - it definitely wasn’t for features nobody asked for. So sub-collections/nested collections or any substantial feature adds for Plex Media Servers are HIGHLY unlikely. Forget Plex, they forgot you.
Plex come on.. where is this???
