Jdiesel 1113 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Emby already has filters build in to sort through your media but what would be even better would be allowing the user to save filters and have an easy way of selecting that view. For example I might want a view showing all comedies released from 1990-1999, all unwatched movies rated G from 2017, favorite action movies, etc. Let us save these filtered views and have them easily accessible from the landing page. If the filtered views can be shared between users even better. Edited May 16, 2017 by Jdiesel 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think this would be covered by the "Smart List" functionality we would like to implement but there doesn't seem to be a feature request specifically for that so I guess this will serve as such .

Jdiesel 1113 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 I've noticed a few requests for something like this from the recent wave of Plex refugees so I thought I'd dig up this FR. Emby's filters are already quiet powerful, time to let the users be creative with them and let them share the results with their users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37050 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Yea i think this is essentially a smart playlist, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1113 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Correct, I wasn't really sure on the correct term when I initially created the FR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chander421 10 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Maybe more than "just" a smart playlist. Smart playlists are really a nice feature for a media center but, let's say i want to find all movies directed by a certain Director or all movies featuring Bruce Lee? Can't really create one smart playlist per director. In this case, when there are dozens/hundreds of items to filter, the filtering by... is perfect. Thanks for your feedback and your help!

adrianwi 237 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Smart playlists in Plex are just saved filters which you can reopen to apply the filters including any new content which meets the filtering criteria. A better description would probably be Smart Filters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
