I'm hoping the Plex team will develop a "my list" feature similar to Netflix. For example I travel a lot, and as my wife and I flip through movies I will see movies I would like to watch later (when I'm traveling) that she never wants to watch with me. I would like to select the movie and add/save it to my list or list of movies I've lined up to watch later. I think it would be perfect for Plex and to take it one step further be able to create a couple lists and name them for kids, spouse etc.
Sounds good to me I'll try to look it up.
So I tried this and it looks like playlist is only for music. I messed with Plex web and honestly its not easy if it is for movies. In face the only time I saw the playlist icon on the left was when I first got into Plex and then it goes away if you try hit the home button. I also tried to add a movie to a playlist when selecting the movie or in the movie options. Is this supposed to work for movies and if so why has no one put on a simple picture walk though of how to do it? FYI I did look at the feed "How do I create a playlist" and that one pic doesn't work and it's also music being shown.
What am I missing?
If you are on the Home page (reached by clicking the "House" icon) where your libraries are listed on the left, you aren't at a point where you can add items to playlists.
I don't have a lot of movies, but it appears that playlists works the same for movies and music.
Your movies are probably in a "Movies" library. If you go to that library, where you see all your movies, hover the mouse over the movie, click the "..." menu, and select "Add to Playlist."
Hope that helps.
Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (playlists), duplicate (watchlist)
