Personally I think this would be a low priority for most users as all you do is share your Library with Others and then they can search for what they might be interested in.
And how do you want it formatted if its not a movie library, for TV shows do you want seasons, episodes or just shows? Home Movies? Music (albums or Songs) seems like it could get very complicated and as I said I would much prefer to see fixes to existing bugs and new High Priority feature requests.
I know you don't want export to Excel, but there is already a third party Channel that exports to CSV so you can just format and print a listing.
Also BTW, Feature requests should be raised in the Feature Request forum as this is where people vote etc for a feature. (But make sure you search fully to make sure if it already exists you can vote on that request so we don't have duplicated requests).
1) "Personally," I think this would be a -high- priority for all users other than Rock Stars such as yourself. If I'm using a Roku or similar client on a TV with my family, slowly scrolling through FOUR HUNDRED MOVIES on one single line to pick out a movie to watch is nuts.
2) BTW, you can go ahead and try to make the Forums as tight and efficient and compact and organized and rule-bound as possible, but the "Feature Request Forum" is useless to me. I don't write code, or view Plex as a hobby, or view Plex as a "community" or a mission from god, I just like movies. I don't want to vote on a feature, or read through 200 or 300 postings to be absolutely sure that an INDEX of MOVIES, or a LIST OF MY MOVIES, or a PRINTABLE GUIDE hasn't been mentioned somewhere, sometime, by somebody.
3) Judging by the responses to this single topic, and other "General Discussion" topics (not "Feature Requests") there are at least some people who agree. Somebody even wrote a "channel" to assemble a printable CSV--which the average civilian might not even know what that is...
4) I downloaded the "bundle" and found the "plugins" folder (which wasn't where the instructions said it would be) unzipped the .zip file to that folder and it didn't work. I then created a "plex2csv.bundle" folder (which was not in the instructions) and re-unzipped the .zip file to that folder, and it still didn't work. No "Plex2CSV Channel" is found. I waited an hour, rebotted the PC, more than once, nothing. I then simply moved the .zip file to the "plugins" folder, which a strict intrepretation of the "instructions" said to do. NOTHING. UPDATE: There are multiple locations where a a "plugins" folder exists. I finally found the right one. I extracted the plex2csv.bundle-master to that folder. Still nothing. Renamed it "plex2csv.bundle, which strangely also renamed the nested folder) Then I moved the nested, extracted folder "plex2csv.bundle" to the main "plugins" folder and deleted the main "plex2csv.bundle" folder (which was now empty) Restarted Plex and it now shows as a channel. What a mess.
Plex needs to be more responsive to civilian, non-techie, man-in-the-street users with common-sense issues that civilian users would want. A printable catalog or Plex Guide or some-such is certainly COMMON SENSE. The forum entries requesting something like a printable list date back YEARS. And you Rock Stars need to understand that a simple common-sense recommendation for what should be a simple capability in the program should be elevated to the actual owners of Plex.
There are now TEN MILLION Roku owners alone, who all have PC's that could be a Plex Server. How many do you think have abandoned or never even installed Plex because they don't write code, and don't know what a CSV file is, or a .bundle or know how to use the WIndows command line, or got all the way up to 50 (I have over 400) movies and their family just got tired of scrolling through them all?
