Hey r/selfhosted! I wanted to share a plugin I created that automatically creates and maintains collections based on your media tags.
What does it do?
- Allows you to configure Tags that you'd like to convert into Smart Collections
- Creates collections based on those configured tags
- Keeps collections up-to-date as you (or your metadata provider) add/remove tags
- Works with both movies and TV series
Example Use Case:
Let's say you have movies tagged as "christmas" (like "The Long Kiss Goodnight"). The plugin will automatically create and maintain a "Christmas" collection with all your christmas-tagged content. As you (or your metadata downloader) add or remove the "christmas" tag from other movies/shows, the collection updates automatically.
Now you have a Christmas collection that you can feature during the holiday season!
Installation:
- Go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Catalog -> Repository (gear icon)
- Add repository:
- Name: Smart Collections
- URL:
- Install "Smart Collections" from the catalog
- Restart Jellyfin
Setup:
- Go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Smart Collections -> Settings
- Add your desired tags as a comma-separated list
- Click "Save" and "Sync Smart Collections For Tags"
GitHub:
See the README for more information/examples/screenshots!
Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions! This is my first Jellyfin plugin, built out of frustration sifting through my large media library during the holidays to find the right movie.
And as always feel free to give it star on GitHub if the project interests you!
