Smart Playlist Like Functionality, and File Streaming.

[critter1227]

I did a little looking around and some websites mention smart playlists. I use two smart playlists in Media, one being all music being 5 stars and one being all music that is 3 stars out of the slandered 5 star rating system. Is there any way I can do this or something similar natively in Plex, using third party software or another program to make a playlist folder of it and upload that to plex?

Also, I’m sure this has been answered before, when a file is streamed, can you change the bitrate of it in the app’s settings. As I have a lot of losless flac files, but if I can convert them to mp3 for streaming, it would be easier. Is this also possible with downloading a playlist with the subscription? Can I convert them all to 320 kb/s files?

Thank you.

• go into your music library.
• don’t click on any individual track with your mouse now!
• change the viewmode to tracks (1.)
  
  
• open the lefthand action bar (2.)
• click on ‘New Filter’
• click on ‘Rating’
• check ‘3 stars’, ‘4 stars’ and ‘5 stars’
  
  
• click on ‘Add to playlist’ (encircled)
• name the playlist “Music - 3 stars” or similar

This method works only if the star rating has been applied to the individual tracks, not the artist nor the album.
