Create smart, rule-based playlists and collections in Jellyfin.

This plugin allows you to create dynamic playlists and collections based on a set of rules, which will automatically update as your library changes. It works with all media types (movies, episodes, TV shows, music etc.) and features a modern web-based interface for easy list management - no technical knowledge required.

Requires Jellyfin version 10.11.0 and newer.

• Modern Web Interface - A full-featured UI to create, manage and view status for smart playlists and collections
• External Lists - Populate lists from MDBList, IMDb, Trakt, and TMDB — trending charts, watchlists, top lists, and more
• Flexible Rules - Build simple or complex rules with an intuitive builder
• Automatic Updates - Playlists and collections refresh automatically on library updates, playback status changes, or via scheduled tasks
• Refresh Status & Statistics - Monitor ongoing refresh operations with real-time progress, view refresh history, and track statistics for all your lists

This project is based on the original SmartPlaylist plugin created by ankenyr. You can find the original repository here. All credit for the foundational work and the core idea goes to him.

The vast majority of the recent features, including the entire web interface and the underlying API changes in this plugin, were developed by an AI assistant. While I do have some basic experience with C# from a long time ago, I'm essentially the project manager, guiding the AI, fixing its occasional goofs, and trying to keep it from becoming self-aware.
