Playlist View Options

Not a big deal but if we could change the view options for playlists IE how the collections have each album seperated by, well, album that would be baller.

Hi. Playlists or collections?

A playlist is a list of playable items in a specific order so combining them or rolling them up doesn't really make a lot of sense...

Allow me to show you an example. Musicbee, Plex, and perhaps others allow you to display items in your playlists in either a list format as Emby does, or in tile format by albums such as this:

HI, yes more options to control this are possible for future updates. Thanks.

Previously I had been using the Smart Playlist 2.0 plugin for music (although it isn't working at the moment, so I can't show an image example).

It was great for music Playlists, but not that useful for music Collections, because of no music roll up functionality.

There was a Collections roll up feature, that only worked for video, as follows:

Added a new feature that can roll up episode items to either their season or series, this is only available for smart collections. (Emby restriction)

EpiModes:

• Item: Collection will contain episodes
• Season: Collection will roll up episode to season
• Series: Collection will roll up episode to series

(I did ask about music roll up many months ago, on the relevant forum, but never received an answer, so didn't worry about it further.)

As Emby is going to be implementing Smart Playlists/Smart Collections/Smart Views fairly soon, it would be nice to have an equivalent roll up function for music:

• Item: Collection will contain songs
• Album: Collection will roll up Songs to Album

I expect Emby will have their own (excellent) way of doing the "smart" functions. However it is implemented, please don't forget music!!!
