I would love a few Watchlist related filters for Smart Collections / Playlists, such as the ability to create a Hub that lists all the available Movies / Shows on my server that somebody has in their Watchlist.
Iâm not sure I understand what youâre suggesting⊠youâre looking for an option to create smart collections/playlists (structures) inside the watchlist to structure it with custom filter criteria?
Specifically an advance filter for my library that includes everything in my watchlist (or whoever is viewing it) thatâs available on my server⊠Does that make sense?
ok⊠so itâs not about filtering the watchlist itself but a filter option inside a library. Like Duplicates⊠just On My Watchlist.
Iâm a bit skeptical about filtering what others might have on their watchlist (e.g. do you really want to track individual usersâ watchlists?). Maybe an addition to the On My Watchlist filter â like On other users' Watchlists. Though I suppose that kind of filter only makes sense if youâre the server admin.
Itâs not so much for me to see whatâs on other peoples, more so I can create a separate watchlist hub for Movies and Shows to be displayed per library.
For example, setup smart collections called âShows in your Watchlistâ and âMovies in your Watchlistâ that i could enable as hubs. It would work similar to the newly updated watch filter that makes use of a new setting on the collections that enables the results to be deferent depending on whoâs looking at the collection.
My use case would be specifically for the Recommended section of libraryâs (not the home). As right now, the only way to view your watchlist is from home so a small hub would be perfect for this.
In that Case a âOn my watchlistâ filter should do. You can configure smart collections to apply their filters based on the admin or actual user (e.g. for the purpose of publishing that collection as a hub to your friends â Movies from tdeverxâ Server on your watchlist).
No separate filter needed

Maybe Iâm mistaken but there currently isnât a watchlist filter for the library? Which is what Iâm requesting? 
Yes.
I was only attempting to wrap up your suggestion â that newly requested filter will also work to create hubs based on what your friends have on their watchlist (no separate filter needed)
OH, sorry I had not long opened my eyes when I replied hahaha

I would love to be able to create a smart collection like this, and have it pinned to the âRecommendedâ view in my libraries. I already have collections based on userâs unplayed movies/shows for each genre, etc., and right now only missing having a list for their watchlist

I would like to see an On My Watchlist filter with options for true and false so I can create smart collections for my managed users and make it easier for them to access their watchlist content from the library view, example:
Movies From Your Watchlist
Collection Filtering: User Viewing Content
Sort: Date Added, Descending
Filter: On My Watchlist is true
or
Unplayed Episodes from Watchlist
Collection Filtering: User Viewing Content
Sort: Release Date, Descending
On My Watchlist is true
Episode Unplayed is true

Is this technically complicated? Seems like an easy win for providing users with super relevant recommendations in each library.

Apparently this is very complicated.
I am waiting - since the watchlist was introduced several years ago - hoping it would become more usable. I mostly care for my local media and would want stuff to disappear from my watchlist when watched. I can replicate this with smart collections to some extend, but not smoothly. As the watchlist is already properly integrated, being able to filter on media being on the watchlist would allow me to make it work the way I want it. Please add this feature PlexâŠ
It seems like such an easy and obvious thing thing to implement that the only reason not to do it must be because Plex doesnât benefit from it financially. As it stands now, Watchlists are tied to Discover, which serves to point users to Plexâs own ad-supported streaming service if available (and to external streaming services if not). If Plex gave users the ability to easily filter to Watchlist items in their own libraries, theyâd be reducing traffic to the Discover page.
For what itâs worth, you can basically get this functionality using Kometa with some caveats:
- Kometa can be intimidating at first, and setting it up requires some tinkering
- The resulting collection is not updated in realtime. If you add an item to your Watchlist, it doesnât immediately appear in your collection, but rather has to wait until the next scheduled refresh from Kometa.
