Playlists are an amazing way to create custom lists of media files.
They would be even greater if you could create hierarchical lists.
I tried moving one playlist below another (hierarchical speaking) via drag + drop.
But all playlists stay flat and do not become partents or children.
Nested playlists would allow a totally customized file structure!
E.g. (all listed elements are playlists):
Star Trek
|
|--- Star Trek Voyager
| |--- S01E01 - Caretaker (1)
| |--- S01E02 - Caretaker (2)
| |--- ...
|
|--- Star Trek Enterprise
| |--- S01E01 - Broken Bow (1)
| |--- S01E02 - Broken Bow (2)
| |--- ...
|
|--- ...
"Star Trek" is the main playlist and all other playlists are nested ones.
On my TV I would like to see the nested playlists as folders. So the whole playlist structure can be browsed.
-
You create a "Playlist Group" to be the parent of other playlists.
-
You can also easily do more ore less exactly what you want with a file-based view scheme. Just create a new view under video and use the same rules as you use for your playlists. You can have as many levels of hierarchy as you want.
-
But playlists allow to add (drag + drop) any file based on the wildest rules one can imagine.
My example of course is nice and ordered but what if I would like to add files spread across the whole library where I can't find suitable rules?
Do views allow to add random files?

The "playlist group" did the trick :) Didn't see that.
Great!! Thank you!! ;D
