Allow Collection field to be filled by Channel Name #19

Closed NotExpectedYet closed 4 years ago

No idea if this is at all possible but just thought it would be cool to utilize the Collection field on my library.

Currently my Youtube library is a single directory pointed at my youtube-dl output folders which loads 10000's of videos and there is currently no filter I can see on Jelly fin for Director.

I gather this might be an alternative to tv show library option request as sorting by date pretty much accomplishes this inside of a collection just without any seasons.

You may want to look at my smart playlist plugin. https://github.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-smartplaylist-plugin This gives you the ability to provide queries which include the director and other fields to create playlists. I use it to keep playlists for each channel and filter by unwatched. As I watch videos they get removed. Would this satisfy your need?

It sounds like it would certainly, I will check it out thanks!

Just wanted to reply back as I've had chance to try the plugin you made and recommended.

First, Works great! Took 20 seconds and it had created a playlist for me.

Thanks, I gather if you've no plans to add in the collection field then might as well close this.

I do not have plans and will close this. I don't feel that the metadata agent should be managing collections. Making collections for each channel may not be something everyone would want. Without a clear understanding of how this could be integrated without interfering with others desires and making it generalizable to possibly other fields people may want overloaded I won't be working on this. The smart playlist is also a more appropriate place for managing playlists or collections.

Thanks for the kind words. If you have any other feature requests for this or the smart playlist plugin please reach out!
