Server Version#: QNAP version 1.28.0.599  
Player Version#: iOS PlexAmp 4.6.1

I see the default playlists like “fresh” “recently added” are smart playlists. However I don’t see how to create smart playlists and add more own rules to them. Is this officially possible yet?

It’s possible to create your own. Select any of the Library sections highlighted in green.

Then find the FILTER icon, found circled in yellow. Click that and you’ll get rules and groups.

Specify your filtering criteria. Press the BACK arrow to refresh with newly updated listing.

Tap on the blue circled ADD TO PLAYLIST icon. Then create a new playlist, which then saves your filtered list as a Smart Playlist.

After your Smart Playlist has been saved, you are then able to continue to configure it later by selecting the following EDIT FILTERS icon.

Thank you! This is the part I could not wrap my head around. You made it very clear. Cheers
