Hi!
I’ve been working on a smart playlist plugin for Jellyfin for a couple of weeks, and by now it’s at a stage where I can say it’s usable and doesn’t have any show-stopper bugs. The playlists are created and edited in the plugin’s settings.
A simple configuration for all liked pop songs would look like this:
Id: Favourite Pop
Name: Favourite Pop
Program: |
(and (is-type "Audio") (is-favorite) (is-genre "pop" (genre-list)))
SortProgram: |
(begin *items*)
It supports reflection, so any filter or property can be added without modifying the plugin directly; most of the pre-defined filters are implemented this way.
There also is a mirror at Codeberg: codeberg.org/redxef/jellyfin-smart-playlist
The readme doesnt ever explain what a smart playlist is. Is this a term that most people know that i’m just out of loop on?
Smart playlists is why I haven’t moved to Jellyfin yet so I’ll give this a look.
Is this only for music, or tv shows as well? I find myself shuffling shows a lot and it was nice in Plex to have a smart playlist and exclude shows that had been played in the last X days from the playlist.
Not yet, though thats a feature worth looking at. I’m thinking that it should be collections instead of playlists. If you add 3 shows to a playlist only the episodes will appear there, while the collection will only show the tv show (or season, whatever you added).
I don’t really understand the readme. Is the creation done in a cli or in the jellyfin UI?
I was missing this feature in jellyfin and this would be really great (I switched from plex which has it and I used it a lot 😅)
Ah, should probably make that more clear. Everything can be done in the settings of the plugin.
very nice. I will give it a try as well (after the holidays though)
