Hi!

I’ve been working on a smart playlist plugin for Jellyfin for a couple of weeks, and by now it’s at a stage where I can say it’s usable and doesn’t have any show-stopper bugs. The playlists are created and edited in the plugin’s settings.

A simple configuration for all liked pop songs would look like this:

Id: Favourite Pop
Name: Favourite Pop
Program: |
  (and (is-type "Audio") (is-favorite) (is-genre "pop" (genre-list)))
SortProgram: |
  (begin *items*)

It supports reflection, so any filter or property can be added without modifying the plugin directly; most of the pre-defined filters are implemented this way.

There also is a mirror at Codeberg: codeberg.org/redxef/jellyfin-smart-playlist

    I will try this out, thanks!

    Any idea if playlists can directly work in external but non Jellyfin apps like finamp or kodi with Jellyfin for kodi? If not can playlists be saved/exported for use in those contexts?

      It’s closed source, but Symfonium has had smart playlists for a while, if it’s a feature you’re willing to switch for. It’s great to see this feature in the Jellyfin server, and hopefully all the apps can implement it in due time.

        I really like Symfonium. I’ll second giving it a check.

        I love using it for Navidrome & offline caching, and it’s nice because it does offer some casting capabilities internally.
