Plex media 2 - Suggestions

It looks cool but I’d love you to improve a few bits & the search function :smiley:

Its great the way you can click on an actor in a movie and see what else they’re in in you film collection - but I should also be able to do a manual serach. Or even with siri perhaps show me movies with ‘ewan mcgregor’

I love plex but I want it to be less computer algorithm & a little more human.

  • Improve search function to include more from the metadata E.G I have the entire james bond collection yet when I search bond only 2 movies show up.
  • Or for example you want to watch a movie with a actor in etc.
  • Auto play extras 1 after the other - Like a dvd would / should
  • On main pages show either year or Star ratings underneath title etc - recently released movies I want more than just a title & poster gimme a imdb rating etc.
  • Show the Director & Year clearly on the movie page :slight_smile:
  • Maybe even the name of movie studio… I.E Pixar, Disney,
  • & Country, Budget etc (Maybe let us choose what meta info we want to show E.G I don’t care what subtitles I have)
  • Maybe even offer a link to a movie review (mark kermode etc) or the newspapers Times, Guardian, New York Times rating etc
  • Show awards - If a movie has won awards lets blo*dy show it off :slight_smile: I wanna know which of my film collection has a bafta or oscar
  • Plex could suggest oscar winning movies for cinematography or best actor, director etc
  • Use different fonts - the title & description should be different fonts or titles in bold etc.
  • Show me a quick category selection for my content at the top - so comedy, horor, documnetary etc.
  • Use IMDB to tell me what other movies actors & directors are known for outside of my content (I want plex to help educate me too, so then I can go get those movies too)
  • Codec info maybe show a video bitrate

Just needs a bit of work or let us customise it :smiley:

This is my redesign:

  • Title in yellow
  • Added Director
  • IMDB rating has an actual star
  • The parental rating is the actual rating like on a dvd etc
  • Moved Movie description above the movie meta data
  • Added movie studio

    Current Plex Design:

I’d cut out extras/actors/related movies and make that a whole seperate page. Get rid of the … And make all options visable. Increase poster size. No IMDB/RT ratings, I own the movie, why do I care about the rating?

Codec info below movie poster too.

  • Codec info at a minimum show a video bitrate
  • Auto play extras 1 after the other - Like a dvd would / should
