Dynamic “Current Platform/Category” Filter for Auto-Populated Playlists

📋 Summary

Add a Current Platform/Category filter option when creating auto-populated playlists. This would allow a single playlist to dynamically adapt to the platform or category it’s being viewed under, eliminating the need for duplicate playlists.


❗ Problem

Currently, auto-populated playlists cannot filter based on the platform or category they are nested under.

  • If you want a “Broken Games” playlist for each platform, you must manually create one per platform.

  • While you can use the Parents tab to display a playlist under multiple platforms, it does not filter contextually—meaning all games from all platforms appear.

  • There’s no way to define a rule like “Current Platform” or “Current Category” for filtering.


💡 Proposal

  • Add a Current Platform/Category filter option.

  • When applied, the playlist dynamically shows only games from the platform or category it is being viewed under.

  • Example: A single “Broken Games” playlist appears under every platform via the Parents tab, but only shows broken games for that specific platform when viewed.


🧩 Benefits

  • Massive time saver: No more creating identical playlists for every platform or category.

  • Dynamic & scalable: Playlists automatically adapt to where they’re viewed.

  • Cleaner library management: Centralized control for consistent filtering across related lists.
