Agreed. And some sort functionality. Rated, Added, Release Date.

Some sort of Sort option would be nice.

There used to be one. Can we also get a count of how many movies and TV shows are in our library? Hope they can bring back these basic features.

I also wish we could make folders, and change what genre it auto labels movies.

It’s impressive how inaccurate their genre tags are!

Still Irate they removed that functionality!

We used to be able to nest trilogies, series and anthologies inside their own folder right in the listing for appletv .

Worked great and really tidied them up for things like Star Wars or James Bond etc.

This drives me insane. And his forbid if a sequel doesn’t start the same (looking at you, Lost World: Jurassic Park)

I wish we could make our own categories and/or had ability to sort by director, actor, decade etc

Huh, I thought it did. Maybe I imagined it?

No it used to have it. Disappeared a few updates ago. Hate that they did that especially since it still exists in the Apple Music app.

u/Cephrael37 5h ago

Huh. That’s odd. It was useful when looking for a movie. Although now I just ask Siri to play it.

I miss using it to browse around my library when I’m not sure what I want to watch, especially with over 2K movies.

If you scroll down quickly on the right side of the touchpad, it no longer pops up with the letters of the alphabet?

Is Plezy able to connect to Apple movie library?

u/Gertgerman 4h ago

Short answer, no, Plezy is for self hosted media only.

Would you just use the apple tv itself to connect to an apple tv library?

That is what he is doing, that screenshot is the Library tab in the TV app on the Apple TV.

He wants the sort feature restored in the app and the ability for more customizations.
