I want to make a smart playlist in plex web that pulls from a specific library all 5 star rated videos. I have tried to follow the posted guides but it seems they are massively out of date. Most guides reference the three stacked bars which is no longer visible on most library pages in the current iteration of plex web. I do not want to have to use collections to accomplish this. Currently I can’t seem to get this to work in plex web, and the sorting option I require (sort by rating) doesn’t seem to be available in the plex app for ios. Anyone? ---

1. Open the library containing the videos. 2. Open the Custom Filter. ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/plex/uploads/default/original/3X/3/2/328f5f67a09026ae4fc36dad54f3cb9e6008b537.png) 3. Use these settings and click Apply: ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/plex/uploads/default/original/3X/7/9/791d6d27ccd408ab4e7015c696e9e126ae4acd9d.png) 4. Then click ‘Add to Playlist.’ 5. Give your playlist a name, and click Add. Done! ---

That’s a bug that should be fixed by Plex Web 3.7.0 that was released earlier today. Refresh your browser if you haven’t already and take another look. ---
