*arr to handle playlists (lemmy.saik0.com)

So there's a fantastic site called chronolists.com... It's a bit incomplete from the dataset perspective, seems to be missing the "latest" releases (the 2022 Fantastics Beasts for example), and is limited to very particular "universes".

Is there an *arr that does this?

Automatically grab the items you have and populate playlists like "Stargate - Chronological", "Stargate - Airdate", etc...

And as items are added to your library that were missing in the "universe" it fills in the playlists. Playlistarr?

In short: this isn't an *arr's job. arrs find the content, other tools serve it.

I've used Radarr for movie collections. It downloads all current and new movies in a collection, but that's about it. How you group those films for consumption is more about the program that serves them up (Jellyfin, Emby, Plex, etc).

I have no experience making movie playlists, but hopefully this information narrows your search.

I understand that this isn't in the main *arrs list of functions... but there's other *arrs out there that do jobs that aren't necessarily finding content. Bazarr for instance will find subtitles for other content. tdarr transcodes files... I don't see much difference in function to finding playlists that movies should be in and spawning/maintaining them.

But I guess nobody has done a project like this one...
