Watch Order for Jellyfin: watch any franchise in the right order 🎬

Ever tried the MCU in order and ended up hopping between libraries, films and Disney+ shows? Watch Order is a free, open-source Jellyfin plugin that does it for you.

• Mix anything in one order: films, single episodes, episode ranges and whole seasons from any number of series
• Ready-made orders included: the MCU (every phase, both sagas, complete), Star Wars (Skywalker Saga and full timeline), Cardcaptor Sakura and Urusei Yatsura
• Your progress, per user: based on Jellyfin’s own watched status, with watch-throughs for re-watches
• Autoplay follows the order: a film between two episodes plays when it should
• Works in any Jellyfin app: a playlist of what you have left, kept up to date
• Built into the web app: a Watch Orders page, an “Up Next” home screen row, and “Part of a watch order” on film and episode pages
• Skip the filler: mark entries optional, and each viewer chooses whether to skip them
• Easy to build and share: a visual builder, plus import from a file or link

Install

1. Dashboard → Plugins → Repositories → +, then add: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Verdancy-Rin/jellyfin-plugin-watch-order/main/manifest.json
2. Catalog → Watch Order → Install, then restart Jellyfin.
3. Dashboard → Watch Order → add one from Ready-made orders, New order to build your own, or Import a file or link.
4. (Recommended) For the Watch Orders page, the home screen row and the section on item pages in the web app, add the repository https://www.iamparadox.dev/jellyfin/plugins/manifest.json, install File Transformation, and restart Jellyfin. Users then see Watch Orders in the web app's library bar (they may need to refresh the page once). Without it, orders still work through their playlists, autoplay and the API.

Requires Jellyfin 12.1 or later.
