    Hey everyone,

    I recently started using Jellyfin and as I add to my library I'm wondering, does Jellyfin automatically add new items to playlists if the user created the playlist from a certain location? For example, if I clicked on the "add to playlist" on my music folder, does anything added to the music folder at a later date get added to the playlist or do I have to recreate the playlist/add the new items to the playlist each time new items are added? I found this thread about dynamic playlists but that was asking about generating playlists based on metadata. I'm hoping for functionality like when you create a playlist of folders in VLC and it queries the folders each time you open the playlist. Thanks!

    You cannot add folders to a playlist from the Jellyfin UI. BUT, if you had a M3U playlist in your library you might be able to add folders that way for dynamic playlists.

    The playlist can be either absolute paths or relative paths. Relative to the M3U file that is. The M3U needs to be in a library path.

    This is all theory, btw. I've never tried adding a M3U with just a folder path.
