Systems and methods for using playlists
First Claim
1. A method for using an interactive media guidance application,the method comprising:
- receiving a first user input having a common attribute of video content;
storing a plurality of media assets including a subset stored based on the common attribute;
subsequent to storing the plurality of media assets, receiving a second user input requesting playback of the subset of the plurality of stored media assets having the common attribute of video content;
identifying, from the plurality of stored media assets, the subset of the plurality of stored media assets having the common attribute of video content;
generating, for simultaneous display, a first list of the plurality of stored media assets, a second list of the subset of the plurality of stored media assets having the common attribute of video content, and an indication of the common attribute corresponding to the second list, wherein the second list of the subset includes all media assets having the common attribute from the first list of the plurality of stored media assets; and
automatically selecting for playback the subset of the plurality of stored media assets having the common attribute of video content in response to the second user input.

Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically generating a playlist of series assets and systems and methods for grouping assets of a playlist in clusters are provided. In one embodiment, series assets may automatically be included into a playlist for that series. In another embodiment, an interactive media guidance application may group assets in clusters based on one or more user selected parameters or may group assets in cluster based on automatically determined parameters. In yet another embodiment, the interactive media guidance application may group assets in clusters and display at least one identifier in connection with each cluster to indicate a basis for forming the cluster. The identifier may be a key word or catch phrase that succinctly identifies a trait or characteristic of assets in a particular cluster associated with the identifier.
