New to Emby, question about functionality

[Bc871 1]

I searched the support and these forums, but I didn’t find the answer I was looking for,. I am looking  to  know if someone had some familiarity doing this with Emby, I’m looking to create playlists with various movies and videos and download them for off-line use, I see music playlistsas an option to download, but not necessarily movies and videos, also, if the playlist is updated, will that push and sync the download? Appreciate any assistance.

Yes, you can sync video playlists, but it doesn't sync as the playlist. It just downloads all the individual items. It doesn't seem to sync them in the order that they are in the playlist though. So if you decide to only sync 5 items, it will sync the first 5 items in the playlist. That's been my experience at least.

HI, where are you looking for the download buttons for movies and video? They can be downloaded as well.

Thanks for the replies, I am looking to see if it retains the playlist organization when downloaded .  Plex does this and was wondering if there was similar functionality in Emby.

No, it doesn't even show the playlist.
