Unless I'm missing something, Jellyfin can do playlists just fine for my liking anyway.
What are Smart Collections?
You can essentially create a filter of any media type and then save it as a collection, as new things are added if they meet the criteria they are auto-added to the collection. So an example could be if you want documentaries to be their own collection you could create a smart collection with a filter of genre=documentary.
Some people are using their media servers way more intricately than I am hahaha. Wild to know what features are being implemented to enhance these services.
Interesting. Jellyfin doesn't have something exactly like that afaik, but it does have genre categories. I don't think a more robust category feature is really something I need personally though, so I don't think I'm missing out.
