is there a media server/manager that supports multiple types of media (i.e books, series, comics, etc) natively and allows media to be ordered by series? i came across this problem when trying to organize a series in my media collection that contains movies, series and books; i tried searching for a solution on jellyfin specifically but afaik the consensus is that mixed-media libraries are mostly discouraged due to unreliable metadata, + jellyfin’s hit or miss support for non-video content. this seems to be true for other media managers like plex and emby from what i’ve read.

i included a mockup to get the basic concept across, ideally the manager’s focus would be on separating media by series and allowing mixed-media libraries, though i can see how that could be a bit tricky to implement. thanks in advance for any suggestions

    It’s not a feature I’ve used myself but I’m pretty sure you can create Jellyfin playlists and collections spanning different libraries, so that could work if you’re okay with some manual curation
