Plex Collections for TV Shows and other videos

This is definitely a must have feature. Hoping for it!

We are heading for 4 years of the request. I think hope is the only thing left indeed :joy:

And yet you haven’t voted for it, it seems?

I don’t think is lack of interest from the public that is keeping this feature away. It has 3k page views and 40 likes, which is considerable for the size of the forum. My like will not change anything four years later after it was posted.
But there you go, I voted for it.

Please don’t get me wrong as I desperately want this feature too and voted for it.
However, you mention 40 likes? It currently has 27?

At least 4 or 5 others have typed plenty of words saying how much they want this but also didn’t vote so they may well have just said they didn’t want it.

I won’t even go into the twisted logic of page views.

Yeah actually I will.

If it actually had any relevance then it simply implies that of all those 3k views then basically a tiny percentage want/care about this feature. Same goes for the 4 year time period.
In 4 years 27 people said they want this feature.

That’s the issue.
Again I want this feature so bad and I didn’t intend to single you out personally (you were just the last to comment without voting.)

I just don’t get the general logic though.
A few seconds to read a feature request then a millisecond to click a like button. Job done.

I don’t understand why some users (not you personally) would rather type a few paragraphs of disdain at something not being implemented whilst never having said they wanted it (at least in the only way that matters.)
The mods especially @NC_Bullseye goes out of his way to point out the step required to vote for a feature often.

And just to add, I said it before (maybe another thread), we only just got trailers and multiple versions added to 7.5 and those were the top voted wishlist items and were 6 years old or so

That rate of evolution makes me hopeful at least one of my top dozen or so greatest annoyances with Infuse will finally be fixed before the youngest of my not-yet-conceived children graduates college. :upside_down_face:

Does anyone know if this planned feature includes Smart Collection? Would be nice to have it too. Including the sort order which includes random order exclusive to Smart Collections/Playlist.

The Plex Smart Movie Collection which was added last year is broken since it doesn’t follow the sort order. Plex Smart Collections - Suggestions - Firecore
Currently “researching” status Plex Smart Collection order incorrect - General - Firecore so hopefully whatever fixes the Movie gets will be used for this.

I‘m waiting for this feature too. It‘s the only reason why I don‘t switch to infuse.
Can you please tell me when we can expect this feature?

Also waiting for this in order to have TV-series well organized…

Have we any news on this feature?

Hello Infusions… we’re still waiting?

I’m not being sarcastic or facetious, but this makes me wonder why this is so difficult this is to implement. From the outside, as a non-developer who has little idea what it really takes to create such wonderful software, it seems like such a simple thing. It feels like the collections are mostly being handled by Plex and the work is already done on some level within Infuse to have incorporated movie collections. It feels as though it should be as simple as toggling an option and there we go! :joy:

I know there’s got to be a reasonable explanation why this is so difficult, and there have certainly been larger features added to Infuse that were probably a much better use of the developers time and impacted more users. Still, it’s hard to watch the years tick by without any updates, timeline or even comment on the progress that might have been made. It’s wild how quickly my Infuse library is increasingly looking so cluttered and how much more awkward it is to use compared to my tidy and organized Plex library. I’ll just keep hoping that this is going to surprise drop in the next update… or the next… or the next.

I think the problem is the work Infuse did to incorporate movie collections is already being used for TV episodes — TV series in Infuse seem to be analogous to collections of individual TV episodes as Movie Collections are collections of individual movies.

If that’s the case, to collect multiple TV series together, you’d need to make a collection of collections. :man_shrugging:t2:

This and collection sorting are the only things holding me back from fulling using Infuse. I like that I can add collections to the Home Screen. Just wish they would keep the order Plex has. Infuse interface is so much better I keep hoping back and forth

I recently created a couple of Smart Collections in Plex (unwatched movies by date added) and TV Shows (unwatched shows by date added) and the movie smart collection seems to work in Infuse. The one thing that didn’t work was the sorting of the collection. In Plex it is sorted by Date Added, but in Infuse, it is sorted by Release Date.

Is there any way to sort a collection in Infuse?

If not, I would like to see sorting added as well. Or, at least, matching the sorting as specified in Plex.

Plex movie collections works great, but no TV collections. That is weird. Would really love this feature.

Collections for tv series would be great. Quite weird that it only exists for movies in infuse, if you ask me.

But I don’t have any hopes of it getting added either seeing that this thread is over 4 years old.

TV collections are already available in direct mode (still in beta but will be released soon).

So you’re saying that in February when direct mode hits to infuse we’re going to be able to have our series and seasons collections created in plex in infuse?

You’ll find out what will be added here.

Just because a feature is in beta doesn’t mean that it will be seen in the next public release.
