Build playlists that play straight through

For a series, an evening, or a set of clips that belong together — queue it once and stop touching the machine.

Making one

Create a playlist and add files from anywhere in your library, or add a whole folder at once. Enable reorder mode, drag items into the sequence you want, then play the queue in order. Playlists live in the video library, beside favourites and search.

Keeping them recognisable

Each playlist shows a cover collage from the films inside it and a count of items, so a shelf of playlists stays readable at a glance rather than becoming a list of names.

Playing them

Play all runs the queue in order, and repeat and shuffle change how it behaves on your PC.

Adding a whole folder at once

Add a folder or selected videos, then check and arrange the playlist order. Multi-select does the same for files scattered across different folders — pick them all in the library and add them in one action instead of repeating yourself.

Reordering, and why it matters for a series

Files rarely sort into the order you want on their own, particularly where episode numbering is inconsistent. Dragging items into place fixes it once, and the playlist keeps that order permanently — so an evening runs in sequence rather than alphabetically.

Repeat and shuffle

Settings → General → When a video ends decides what happens after each item: play the next, repeat one, repeat all, or stop at the end. Shuffle plays the queue in a random order instead, which suits an evening of short clips better than a series.
