I’ve tried several variations but haven’t found anything that will give me the results I want.
I’d like to create a music filter that will result in
artists that are rated over 2 stars (no 1 or 2 star artists)
Whenever I try to filter my music in this way, I get zero results.
Custom Filter:
1 star AND2 stars
Note, tom80H’s solution does not work. Plex is broken and won’t filter rating correctly.

Unfortunately @tom80H 's solution doesn’t work either. There is a known issue where it appears that the “is not” operator doesn’t seem to work. Plex also doesn’t treat unrated tracks logically, which may be part of the same problem.
That is interesting.
I don’t normally rate tracks, but to test this, I added ratings to 4 tracks:
Using the same filters you did:
My server is 1.18.6.2368 on Linux Mint 19.3, and Plex Web Version 4.22.1, although this has been going on for nearly 3 years now.
Are those screenshots from Plex Web or PMP?
mine are from plex web.
I did not actually check to see if 1 & 2 stars were filtered out.
it actually does appear to be ‘not working’
That’s weird, we’re getting different results in two ways now. Mine does remove the 1- and 2-star tracks, and doesn’t show unrated…
HAH, I think I figured it out.
those tracks are not 1 or 2 stars.
they are 1.5 or 2.5 stars.
unfiltered tracks =
is not 1 star
is not 2 star
is not 1 star and is not 2 star
the problem is that the filter does not have .5 star resolution, and that it only does exact match (not 1 through 1.9999).
Is Plex reading ratings from embedded tags? I thought they weren’t. Plex (Web, at least) can only assign whole numbers, as far as I can see.
good question, it appears plex web does not let you do .5 star intervals.
Yes my ratings were imported from tags/itunes, of which I made great use of half stars (I actually came from media monkey).
I suspect different clients may have different rating resolutions.
I just checked plex on ios, and I can rate half stars.
Good to know. Still doesn’t explain why you’re seeing unrated tracks and I’m not, though.
yeah that is a good question too.
aside from the half star conundrum, there is also the fact that unrated is not the same as ZERO stars.
unrated = null
zero stars = 0
complicating all of this is, ratings are not stars at all, but depending on implementation/tag, are usually stored as numeric 0-100 or 0-255.
which are then translated by range to the applicable star rating.
I can’t remember off hand what the id3 tag specifies, but I’m sure I could easily look it up.
No wonder I don’t bother with them… 
ratings are awesome.
I use mine to make great auto playlists
I recently made a couple playlists with that tip, but instead of ratings I use genres. Works great.
I’ve got a library of 17,000 tracks. I’ve gone through and rated all of the artists.
If I add the tracks not 1 or 2 stars… it trims the 8000+ tracks down to 80, but they range from no stars to 5 stars.
What I really want is all unrated songs and songs rated higher than 2 stars. Basically the ability to curate my music so that I never hear songs that I’ve rated 1/2 stars.
