PLAYLISTS QUERY REGARDING TV SHOWS

[rcsnoopdog 11]

Hi, Rich here!

I have a playlist for my movies called 'TOP MOVIES,' and I want to create a similar playlist for my TV shows called 'TOP TV.' However, when I add a TV show to the playlist, all the episodes appear individually. Instead, I just want it to display the TV show’s main cover image, like it does in my TV show folder.

Is this possible? Hope that makes sense! Thanks in advance.

Not with playlists. I'd recommend using collections for this.

Yes, they will be among the rest of your collections. You can search for the collection or add it to favorites to easily find it.

That's disappointing ,so just Movies for the playlists then. I would imagine this has already been feature requested surely I'm not  the only person who would want this.

Thank's anyway.

You could do this as a Collection.

Is there a feature request for this? I just want to recommend TV shows I think are good to my family, but the current collections feature isn't useful since it's already filled with various collections. I could recommend TV shows in a playlist, but with all the episodes expanded, it becomes difficult to simply see the TV shows I'm recommending. Instead, I have to scroll through all the episodes to get to the next show, which is inconvenient.

I think Collections are the right tool for the job. Sounds like we just need more ways of organizing them.

I have figured it out and Collections are not the right tool for the job as i want to recommend tv shows to other members of my family and you cant do that if it is mixed in with all collections that i have but if you want to create a tv show playlist without showing up all the episodes of said tv show like it does then you just add the first episode of the tv show you want to add to playlist like S01E01 and then if you want it to look good you have to edit the image for that episode when it has been added to tv series playlist, sadly you have to edit images if you want it to look good.
