To add a feature where individual users can mark a TV show or Movies as their favourite or part of their own list. I have multiple family users accessing my Plex Server and not all of them watch the same shows, but if they could mark which shows they like then Plex could create a separate list just for them
Are they not logging in with their own Plex user? When I log into a friend’s Plex server it let’s me track my On Deck and build my own playlists…
Maybe I’m not understanding the “Favourites” feature you are asking for…
As a PlexPass holder you can create managed users. Each user will have their own dashboard(onDeck, playlists, recently watched, etc…)

This isn’t the same thing. My users don’t want to watch all of the shows, they just want a list seaprate to everyone else. If they could mark a show as a favourite and thenyou have a tab where all these shows are shown, it will make it less messy. Playlists are creatable but its toocomplicate and a half way measure

Each user has their own account, but not each user wants certain show in their profile. I have to make a Library for each user and only select which show each of them want to watch which add extra strain to my server when scanning files.
If they could “favorite” which show/movies they would like to separate from the Library, then it could make a favourite categaory for them. On Deck and Playlists are way too messy and there is no cutomization for each user
This feature would be amazing.
My wife wants her crime drama and hates Star Trek, and I’m not interested in murder mysteries. The kids are the same with their shows.
We have managed accounts for us all but she still gets stuff she is not interested in (and vice versa) showing up and marking favorites would help with that.
The only other way I can think of would be individual libraries which is a set up and management overhead.
Early 2021 clean-up:
- implemented (Plex Home, sharing restrictions)
- duplicate (select shows you watch/don’t watch in shared libraries) → Is there a way to hide tv shows you don't watch on a shared server?
- duplicate (favorites) → My Favorites - Add a list of favorite TV Series and Movies
