I’d to pause playback between playlist items, especially on my Roku. Thus, after playing one item, pushing the play button (on my Roku remote) would start playback of the next item in the list. It could be a setting for each item in the playlist so some items play right after the previous and others pause before playback. Or, it could be a setting in each playlist to eitehr play the whole list through or pause between each item. Or, it could be a global user setting to pause playback between each each item of every playlist. I previously asked this question here: [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1609356](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1609356) And a Plex Employee suggested using a collection, where items do pause. But, that does not allow items to be odered like a playlist… they could be sorted according to some rule, but they cannot be arranged in any arbitrary order. ---

2021 clean-up: implemented (disable auto-play; option to order collections in custom ways…)
