Hey all, I wrote a tool that started as a simple python CLI tool to interleave TV shows in episode order on Emby. I always wanted a level of "Smart Playlists" as I originally came from XBMC/Kodi. Last week I took a little stay at home vacation and MixerBee came out of it. It grew quite a bit fairly quickly and is now a webapp that does all manner of playlist building using genre, years, mixing tv, movie and music blocks, Movie custom collection/boxset creation, scheduling updates of whatever you build, presets, exports, some quick playlist generation, and an AI text to block style configuration if you want to enable it. I hope/plan to add some additional metadata gathering to build collections/playlists off less used metadata, like directors or actors in the future.
I have not switched to JF yet, I've planned on it for years now, but I did add JellyFin support to the tool, I have a lot of respect for this community, the fork and its reasons -- and am impressed at what it has become and hopefully by the next vacation I will finally make the switch. Anyways the "JellyFin" addition/support is in its own branch for now, Install docs and Docker meta in the repo. I will merge eventually when I can find some time to test. Hope someone finds it useful: https://github.com/tophers/MixerBee/tree/jellyfin
