The below image is what I originally created for a smart playlist
This image is what i get when trying to use the edit filters feature
I understand this was released as “experimental” and needs some tweaking … Just letting the devs know what happens. Here is a full lust of details:
MacOS Catalina
Safari
Original Playlist criteria was :
Album Collection : Pink Floyd Related
Track Plays : Less Than 1
Thank and have a great day

Editing a smart playlist filter displays incomplete list of original filter criteria
Looks like we are reporting the same issue.
This is known and a fix is in the works.
Please may i bump this thread, this is a defect that is so frustrating, i see that it is said to be known but is there a timeline for a fix yet?
Thanks
I believed that this has been, for the most part, fixed, although the devs are still tweaking it and continue to work on it. But it’s pretty good for me now.
Thanks

Hi, this is really powerful tool and try to use this a lot and would use it a lot more if it did work reliably, i am on the beta channel Version 1.19.5.3021 and still seeing this fail, although occasionally i do get lucky and it saves but there is no rhyme or reason i can see to success or failure. It seems to fail reliably when i have more than 2 rows, it is only occasionally it will save three rows and i have never successfully saved a 4 row one.
ever hopeful

Hi, yes confirming that i am accessing via https://app.plex.tv and also today i checked in various browsers and am seeing the rows clipped to 2 but just occsasionally it will save a 3 row, here is a successful (and rare) 3 row
Can you show a filter example which always fails to edit?
Is it always with multiple ‘Album Title’ lines? Or are there other filter criteria affected as well?
Hi i have tried a few things and i honestly cant see any sense. one thing i do notice is that album title starts out as a single row with “OR” and becomes multiline on enter. another thing is that if i play the dynamic filter as displayed, everything is working, what is failing is saving that combination and of course then when you recall the sved it’s all wrong. here are my screenshots
and
new one here i added 3 album to exclude
and on save that became
i hope this helps.

ah less haste… that penultimate screenshot is incomplete, i did add the track last played is before … parameter, i have just used the wrong screenshot so the final screenshot has lost the oldies and xmas but correctly saved dance, 2 and 2020-02-02 sorry for confusion.

i have returned to this because it was bugging me… i have 3 screenshots and i finally twigged that the code is behaving badly over “album title” - see below how artist behaves correctly creating ORs bu the “album title” is behaving wrongly. ROWS are i assume AND so one should never have 2 rows of album title but when i put multiple ORs in album title it ramdomly truncates to only one of the OR values but correctly saves only one album title row. I think this is clear in these screenshots but ping back if i’ve not made my explanation clear
here i create a valid set
and here i press aplly and it wrongly creates the multiple rows for album title
and here when i save and then go edit - there is correctly only one row of album title but it has lost the OR values but the artist title has correctly created the row with the OR values.
i’m happy i’ve got this clearly repeatable now.
thanks for taking the interest and hopefully this can now be fixed

I’m currently having this same issue when trying to create/edit smart playlists. I’ll edit filters, Apply and Save, only to return and have various criteria suddenly missing, or the “or” lists will be split into separate lines (which then often disappear). It’s enormously frustrating. Currently running QNAP Plex server v1.20.1.3252 , Plex web v4.34.4
Edit: In case it matters, I’m filtering TV shows/episodes on things such as “Episode Last Played”, “Episode Rating”, and “Show Title”
