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
In Jellyfin, if you add the Star Wars movies to a collection named Star Wars, then do the same to the TV Shows, and then open the Star Wars collection, it will show you the movies and the shows. You could probably do the same for the books after you install the book library plugin, though I don’t think Jellyfin is the ideal way to read ebooks.
There is also the option for auto creating collections that works well
