Hi All,
I know this issue is ripe as a quick Google search reflects a lot of frustration that it’s not currently possible. I’m also sure there are numerous dead forum posts and reddit threads on the topic. The ability to mix tv shows with movies in one playlist is incredibly difficult, and usually relies on manually creating playlists and saving those which comes with other issues (such as an issue where watched status is not visible in manual playlists or that views are incredibly limited).
A use case: Want to watch all Marvel (or Star Trek, or Star Wars, or Walking Dead) releases in chronological order and see them all in one functional playlist…..good luck. I’ve spent hours creating manual playlists for these items but they just don’t behave the same way.
Ideally:
(1) Make manual playlists more robust and consistent with the overall UX experience – including most notably watch status and views – I think that the views are similar to what you can see in a file browse view instead of media view. Additionally, make the manual lists “smarter” as in, if an item path is changed, the playlist should update along with it.
(2) Make creating manual playlists themselves a lot more intuitive
(3) Add the ability to “play next unwatched” from a manual playlist
(4) If something is deleted, remove it from the playlist
These four things combined would make the use case resolved.
Obviously you all are amazing and I’ve been a fan for years. Don’t misread my request as a demand, I know the nature of open source
