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
Why not multiple Library on Jellyfin for zach type? Why doesn't this work for you?
For Mixed content you can then create Collections to have everything you want mixed with correct metadata
i could be wrong, but aren't libraries intended to be separators for different types of media? in the jellyfin docs on libraries it directly states mixed media libraries are discouraged due to incorrect metadata. collections do sound like a good idea, but it lacks the visual and information aspect about the series i'm looking for. still, it does sound like the best choice so far
What do you mean separators?
I never tried to add the whole serie to a collection, but movies in collection still show all the metadata of that movie just like a library.
