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
that does sound like a good idea: i’ve considered making something like that in the past but realized i’m not quite knowledgeable enough on javascript yet to make it a thing, but i’ll definitely keep it in mind. it would also be nice to be able to create a page for each series automatically based on some sort of template and automatically fetch metadata, though i’m not sure how that could be implemented
Looks like jellyfin has an api. I’m sure that could be leveraged. Just would need to have a way to send over api requests. You mentioned JavaScript, but I could see this being done in maybe DJango instead if you’re familiar with python. Though the learning curve for Django is a beast in itself imo
