Hello. I have a question.
In my library I have many movies that have multiple versions (ie a 480/3 mbps, 1080/5 mbps, and a 1080/10 mbps).
These versions are all correctly being grouped as a single movie for display purposes. Plex does a fair job picking the best one depending in the situation. No issues there.
The problem comes with sorting. Let’s say I have 500 movies, and only 40 have a 1080p/15mbps version. What’s the best way for me to find the high bitrate version movies from the UI, without tedious and inefficient manual tagging or scripting workarounds?
Ideally - I’d love for the bitrate sort to work - but it fails on multiple versions. It seems to just use the lowest bitrate (or an average?) of the version set for sorting purposes - making it useless for my use case. If there was a way to make it take the HIGHEST of the version set for sorting purposes - that could work. But this doesn’t appear configurable.
Any ideas? I want to find the movies that have the highest bitrate versions using the Plex UI.
Thank you.
