Plex movie play queue

This would be similar to the "play next tv show" feature.  I would like to build a list of movies to play, in a specific order.

 

This feature has two purposes, first to have a continual playing of movies at night while in bed, and second to setup a list of short movies for when the TV is the kids babysitter.

I have so many movies, that I would like to build a few playlists... When the wife and I sit down to watch something together I know there are things that I thought we would both like.  Be great if when I see them I could throw them in a group easily.   The tagging and filters are not easy enough to quickly use.

There are a few feature requests regarding Queue's but rather than post another one, I'd like to vote this one up and elaborate.

First you Plex developers are amazing, Plex is truly one beautiful piece of software(s). I have no need for Netflix after copying all of my movie DVDs to digital files (thanks to Handbrake) The ONLY thing that really bugs me however and what seems to be a no-brainer and a shock that it does not already have this capability, but why can't you have an "Add to Queue" with ANY media files?  I could give you a ton of examples, but there have been many times while I was ripping a DVD and thinking wow, I forgot I had this and I want my kids to see this movie, but not being able to click a button to "add to Queue" or browsing my library using a computer (which is easier that some of the plex player apps  like Samsung, Ruko etc..) and seeing a movie or something and being able to just click to "Add to Queue"  This is how most users use Netflix (of the people I know)  it seems like a very easy feature to use without disrupting or re-programming all of the other Plex Player Apps. I spent nearly 5 months ripping my movies (over 900) and I don't want to have to browse every time my family wants to watch something.  IT is a kin to having 2000 cable channels and wasting 30 minutes looking for something, when I would rather that a list of movies in a Queue to pick from and just keep it populated.  Case in point I have all the Harry Potter movies. I want them all to be in Queue so my kids can just open Plex then the Queue and select one of them, rather than having to search.  

Anyway keep up the good work, I can only assume that eventually we will see this valuable and desirable feature.

Early 2021 clean-up:

  • add to queue / play next → implemented for movies
  • continuous play → duplicate
