Hi All trying to create a random tv collection with specific shows included with specific seasons... so for example: The Office Season 1,2,3 and Futurama Season 1,8,10 ... I thought easiest way to do this is to create a smart playlist .. and sort by season_collection ... i would manually tag seasons in plex ... but doesnt seem to be working .. does anyone have a settup thats working for them? Here is the example i was thinking of

Random Easy Watching:
smart_filter:
all:
collection: easy
sort_by: random
limit: 250

can't filter on smart collections, as they are themselves filters.

#

perhaps filter on label?

Yes.. good idea .. just not sure how to apply a label to full seasons .. not sure if its possible .. if not its not really feasible to manually tag them

#

I was just looking on the filtering page for options, and label claims to support every level. No idea about applying them.

#

I suppose you might have to apply them with PMM?

yeah good idea.. I tried quite a few things... i dont think its possible though to sort episodes using a smart collection .. you can only add the tags (writers and directors) in individual episodes .. but plex wont let you match on those fields ... so im stumped !

Added labels using PPM .. it seems to add the label to the season but when creating a smart filter the seasons still wont show up .. here is the metadata im using

#

metadata:
73244:
seasons:
5:
label: two
6:
label: two

what collection are you using?

#

it should be

collections:
  Random Easy Watching:
    smart_filter:
      all:
        label: two
      sort_by: random
      limit: 250

#

Does it need a "collection_level: season" or something ilke that?

warm bloom Sep 7, 2022, 2:08 PM

#

not sure if ""collection_level:" is a attribute we can use.. i checked the WIKI and dont see it documented

#

builder_level

#

collection_level was the old name for it, both work 🙂

warm bloom Sep 7, 2022, 2:15 PM

#

aweosme thanks for the help .. would the builder level go on the collector or the metadata? should it look like this ? sorry new at this

#

Random Easy Watching:
builder_level: season
smart_filter:
all:
label: two
sort_by: random
limit: 250

#

builder_level would go on a collection

nimble linden Sep 7, 2022, 2:16 PM

#

warm bloom Random Easy Watching: builder_level: season smart_filter: all: ...

looks fine

warm bloom Sep 7, 2022, 2:17 PM

#

Anyone have any luck making something similar work? Any additions would be awesome!

warm bloom Random Easy Watching: builder_level: season smart_filter: all: ...

this should work if the seasons are labeled

#

episodes and seasons can both have labels but theres no way in the web UI to add or delete them

you could always make a trakt list and just add the seasons you want to see pmm can read that and update your collection accordingly
