I couldn’t find a feature suggestion for this. If there is, then please give me the link so I can up vote it. It would be great if playlists had a view mode option like when viewing libraries. For example, I now have 3 libraries for TV series. This is fine but of course searching and things like re…

I second this idea. My entire TV series viewing experience is smart playlists, especially since on deck got messed up. I end up reverting to Infuse on ATV as it retains the view regardless of it being a playlist.

@Goliath2727 and @blackzwe , don’t forget to vote on this suggestion (if you have any used votes). Also in response to Can we add customization to the playlist and smart playlist? - #2 by BigWheel , while Collections would achieve the desired result, they are very time consuming in that you have to …

That leaves the question what exactly the suggestion is aiming for: the functionality (which is now basically available) literal implementation as described (requiring it to be implemented into playlists) My personal interpretation goes towards #1… but it’s not my suggestion :thinking:

Hi @tom80H , this feature has just been implemented as part of the latest WebApp and PMS updates… For me this will work just fine.

Nice :smiley:. This looks very promising. I’m sure this will achieve the same functionality I suggested. I’ve got required PMS version, just waiting for Plex Web 4.56.3 update. Will report back once tested.

Sorry guys, replied there without thinking of the obvious. The only scenario where this doesn’t work is where you have a custom/random (standard) playlists. For example dedicated playlists for Mum or Dad. So while it definitely solves the issue for Smart Playlists (99% sure without testing it), it …
