Filter are not remembered
Describe the bug Filter will not keep each time you go to the library you have to set them again.
System (please complete the following information):
- OS: [Linux]
- Virtualization: [Docker]
- Clients: [All Formats.]
- Browser: [All Browsers]
- Jellyfin Version: [Version: 10.7.2]
- Installed Plugins: [e.g. none, Fanart, Anime, etc.]
- Reverse Proxy: [NONE.]
- Base URL: [None]
- Networking: [Host]
- Storage: [Local]
To Reproduce
- Go to 'TVShow'
- You have to enable the Filter all the time I like my library to only show unplayed
Expected behavior For it remember the settings
Ideally, I'd like filters to save per user session (or for there to be a setting for that). It is annoying filtering my music albums and losing the filter if I exit the library for any reason. But I usually want to start out a new browsing session with no filters, as my needs usually change from session to session.
Sounds like a job for cookies?
I just had the same realization and found this issue while searching for a solution. Please implement this sooner rather than later. It's bad enough Netflix spams you with shows and films you've already watched. Jellyfin shouldn't do that without being asked to.
This issue has gone 120 days without comment. To avoid abandoned issues, it will be closed in 21 days if there are no new comments.
If you're the original submitter of this issue, please comment confirming if this issue still affects you in the latest release or master branch, or close the issue if it has been fixed. If you're another user also affected by this bug, please comment confirming so. Either action will remove the stale label.
This bot exists to prevent issues from becoming stale and forgotten. Jellyfin is always moving forward, and bugs are often fixed as side effects of other changes. We therefore ask that bug report authors remain vigilant about their issues to ensure they are closed if fixed, or re-confirmed - perhaps with fresh logs or reproduction examples - regularly. If you have any questions you can reach us on Matrix or Social Media.
I also think this is a needed feature for any Media Server solution, the main thing we do is watching episodes we did not watch yet, so having user based Filters that are always enabled/remembered like unwatched/unplayed is kind of a must have. Having to sort by unplayed every time(in a Libary with 400+series) it takes about 5-10 seconds to load each time i change the filters. And this gets annoying fast.
Like @SightSpirit mentioned, a setting to say if it is only per session or always for user xyz would be a very good way to customize this or even a third option to disable the remembering completly would be nice to have.
I hope this does not get neglected :)
Alternatively the filter could be contained in the URL which would allow using a bookmark to save the state. IMHO there is no need to bundle it with a session if you can restore it in one click?
The URL option doesn't seem ideal for many libraries. Then we'd have to have 15 bookmarks for 15 libraries just to view unplayed content.
Think the cookie option is the way to go for filters.
It really is super annoying having to filter every time Jellyfin is opened.

I second this. Just gave Jellyfin another chance thanks to the Cloudflare access option (I was and still am missing 2FA) and the fact that filters are being reset every time I'm refreshing or accessing a library page is very frustrating. In my view both options would work (i.e. session or user). To be honest I don't see any other major feature missing at the moment so hopefully this can be added soon ;)
