    Private Playlist sharing & changing public/private

    Can we not share a private playlist to specific users?

    I am pleased we now have private playlist functionality, to be honest its a basic feature that's been missing for some time, however bit of a lack of news/docs on how it works, where are the playlist files stored for example?

    Specifically, I have two questions as follows:

    1. Can I share a private playlist with specific users on my server?

    2. Can I change a private playlist to public and vice versa? 

    Thanks!

    Playlists are stored in the Jellyfin app directory.

    /var/lib/jellyfin/data/playlists for bare metal Linux
    /config/data/playlists for docker installs
    C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\.....playlists? (I don't have a Windows machine to verify)

    You can't "share" playlists, but in 10.10 we added the ability to change the status of a playlist from private to public and vice versa.

    Click on the "..." context menu for a playlist, "Edit", then check or uncheck "Allow public access". Only the owner of the playlist will get this prompt. The server admin cannot view, nor change permissions on, playlists owned by other users.

    Perfect response, just what I was looking for, thanks! I have been using Jellyfin for nearly 2 years, on bare metal i7 13th gen and the experience is fantastic! I use the web client, the media player, the Jellyfin client for AndroidTV, Jellyfin4Kodi, Finamp on iOS and Feishin on Windows. Absolutely love it!

    Last question, are there plans to implement per user sharing for Playlists?
