In my opinion the article about the using of filters is a bit outdated (last modified almost 6 years ago). 😉  
[https://support.plex.tv/articles/200392126-using-the-library-view/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200392126-using-the-library-view/)

It only explains the normal filters and has It has no information about how to use advanced filters (I guess they didn’t exist back then :).  
Some points I’m missing here are:

- What are Rule Groups and how do you use them?
- How do the rules behave if you select “One of the following” or “All of the following” on top?
- Maybe: how they behave if you use 2 or 3 levels with arguments? I think some examples could be helpful for people who struggle with the structure of these advanced filters.

Thank you!

They were called “Custom Filters” back then ( which shows in the screenshots in that article.)

but you are correct that could use some updates and examples on how to make rule groups and such.

thank you for the feedback.

Just saw that this topic has already been reported on the “stay-at-home” phase. 😉

Thanks for taking a look on this! 📝
