What you can do
Library. Taste. Mood. People.
Keep the reasons for a viewing choice in one companion.
Your own Plex libraries
Find choices among the media on your own Plex server. Keep discovery focused on the library you already have.
A few strong choices
Move from a wall of posters to a short selection worth considering. Spend your evening watching rather than endlessly scrolling.
Permanent taste
Use LOVE, LIKE, NEUTRAL, LESS and AVOID to describe your lasting preferences. Keep that taste model separate from a single evening.
Hard exclusions
Set the things you want excluded alongside your preference levels. Use these boundaries as part of your discovery preparation.
Tonight’s mood
Choose what fits tonight without replacing your permanent taste. A changing mood belongs to the current viewing session.
Watch Together
Choose more than one household profile for a shared session. Bring the people watching into the choice.
Plex data as context
Use viewing characteristics derived from your Plex data. Keep the discovery context tied to your own library.

Playback through Plex

A shared evening
Choose with the people watching.
The illustration brings a household’s different tastes together around a television and a personal media library.
Use Watch Together for a shared session. Choose who is watching, keep each profile’s lasting taste separate from tonight’s mood and consider a few strong choices.

Who is watching tonight?

The route keeps the people watching, where to look, what fits tonight and the final choices in sequence. Begin with the household context before choosing the media.
Keep taste and mood distinct
Lasting preferences. Tonight’s context.
A different kind of evening does not replace what you normally enjoy.
Five taste levels
Describe permanent taste with LOVE, LIKE, NEUTRAL, LESS and AVOID. Add hard exclusions where you need a firm boundary.
A separate mood choice
Use tonight’s mood for the current session. Keep it distinct from the taste model you use over time.
Household profiles
Select one viewer for a personal session or multiple profiles for Watch Together. Put the people watching before the final choice.
