Jellyfin Auto Collections Plugin

A powerful Jellyfin plugin that automatically creates and maintains dynamic collections based on flexible criteria. This enhanced fork extends the original Smart Collections plugin with advanced boolean expression support and comprehensive filtering options.

🎯 Overview

The Auto Collections plugin enables you to create smart collections that automatically update as your library changes. Collections can be based on simple criteria or complex boolean expressions, allowing for highly specific and dynamic organization of your media library.

Collections come in two flavours:

• Simple collections — pick a criterion (title, genre, studio, actor, director, writer or tag), a media type and a search string.
• Advanced collections — write a boolean expression combining any of the criteria with AND, OR, NOT and brackets, for example STUDIO "Marvel Studios" OR TAG "mcu".

Either kind re-evaluates on every sync, so collections keep themselves current as the library changes. A Preview button shows exactly what a rule would add and remove before anything is written.

🚀 Installation

1. In Jellyfin, go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Catalog
2. Add repository: @KeksBombe (Auto Collections)
3. Repository URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KeksBombe/jellyfin-plugin-auto-collections/refs/heads/main/manifest.json
4. Click "Save"
5. Search for "Auto Collections" and install
6. Restart Jellyfin

📋 Requirements

• Jellyfin: Version 12.0 or later
• Permissions: Plugin requires collection management permissions

Jellyfin 12 moved the server to .NET 10, so a single plugin binary can no longer serve both server lines. Releases 0.0.8.0 and newer target Jellyfin 12; stay on 0.0.7.0 for Jellyfin 10.11. The plugin catalog offers each server the matching release automatically.
