*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?

Radar can track whole movie collections if that's what you mean, alternatively there is a list function which might do what you need(I've never really used it though so idk)

You want Plex Meta Manager. It makes those playlists, and I think it can request missing entries but I personally don't use that if it does.

Ah hah! I've seen this project before. I completely missed that it handles playlists as well. I'll look at that and see if it does exactly what I want.

Thanks for the pointer! I appreciate it.

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...
