Once I figured it out, I thought I’d make the steps clear for others.Ĭounter-intuitively, the place to start is not in the “Playlists” option on the Plex dashboard, but in the Music panel. Click on the Music pane, not the Playlists pane. You’d think that you would create Playlists in the Playlists area, but you don’t. You create all the Playlists in the Music area. Once you’re viewing your music, you need to look for a drop-down menu. It’s all the way to the left and says “All” with a little arrow next to it. Click on the little arrow next to “All” to drop down the menu. What you want to do is click on “Custom Filter.” That will open this option: Here’s where you create custom filters. Using that filter option, you can search for, say, all the music in the Genre “Alternative” or “Classic Rock.” Once you’ve entered your search criteria, click the “APPLY” button on the far right and it will apply your search criteria to your music: Once you apply the search criteria, Plex will show you the music that fits the criteria. Now, creating a “Smart Playlist” is just one more step. Look to the right of the window for an icon with four little lines and a plus sign. I typically name mine based on the search criteria, but you can call them whatever you want: That is the icon for creating a playlist: This is the icon you want for creating a playlist.Ĭlicking that button will open a prompt for you to name the new playlist. Now, with your Smart Playlist created, you’ll be able to see it in the Playlist area. Click on “Playlists” in the left menu and, assuming you’ve done everything correctly, you’ll see your newly created playlist there: All of your playlists are in the Playlists area.
