If you mean the Play Queue, that is not a permanent “to watch” list, like you may know from other video-on-demand services. It will get emptied out as soon as you stop playback and/or close the player.

Thank you for your response. What is the purpose of the cue?

You can queue up media to be played back-to-back.  
Mainly used for music or shorter videos like cartoons etc.

As Otto said, the play queue is a temporary thing for the active session. It sounds like you want to create a Playlist.

AFAIK, you can’t add VOD media to a playlist (yet).  
This is also mentioned in the FAQ I linked above.

Thanks. I did alot of searching through the forum looking for how to create a cue.

Since VOD cannot be added to a playlist (yet), is that feature something that is in the works? Are new features communicated to Plex members?
