A few months back on reddit when I was learning about Plex, I had some great help with a script.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1...r/k5av8kl/
That script that is really get came from a user named SwiftPanda16, finding the script here: https://gist.github.com/JonnyWong16/725e...ae776b544b
I have dozens of TV series I have already watched. Putting all the TV series in a playlist and using a shuffle function is okay, but I don't much like having say the order of items be
ShowA Season 12 Episode 1 > ShowA Season 6 Episode 6 > ShowB Season 4 Ep 11 > ShowA Season 2 Ep 14
I'd like the idea of being able to turn on the playlist and it plays episodes in order, but interlaced between series. So I'd have this ordering instead:
ShowA S1E1 > ShowA S1E2 > ShowB S1E1 > ShowA S1E3
Where if a good multi-episode plotline is developing, I'm not jumping around and interrupted and can follow that in the series, even if a different series plays between those episodes.
Kind of recreating broadcast television, with my own channel.
I'm very new to Jellyfin and will be willing to explore the API in the coming days or weeks depending on my free time to recreate that script for Plex (or even research just making the playlist in Plex and somehow importing it to Jellyfin), but I figured I'd not recreate the wheel if someone knew if this type of functionality already existed. Even better if JF has that in its native playlist functionality, something I haven't touched on yet.
