Currently, JellyWatch only selects and plays a single random file when an item's details page has multiple theme music tracks, theme videos, or trailers. I would like an option for JellyWatch to automatically queue and play all available theme/trailer files sequentially in alphabetical and numerical order (0–9, A–Z).
Use Case & Problem:
I meticulously organize my media library's themes and extras in chronological order by season and type. For example, my show folder contains:
* 01 - Overlord - S01 - NC OP1 - Clattanoia [OxT].mp4
* 02 - Overlord - S01 - NC ED1 - L.L.L. [MYTH & ROID].mp4
* 03 - Overlord - S02 - NC OP1 - GO CRY GO [OxT].mp4
* 04 - Overlord - S02 - NC ED1 - HYDRA [MYTH & ROID].mp4
Because Jellyfin itself doesn't natively support ordered playback for multiple theme items, having JellyWatch handle this client-side would be a huge quality-of-life upgrade for users who share heavily curated libraries.
Proposed Functionality:
* Sequential Queueing: Instead of picking a single random file, fetch all available theme music, theme video, or trailer assets associated with the item page.
* Deterministic Sorting: Sort and play the files sequentially based on their filenames (0-9, A-Z).
There could also be a toggle in the playback settings to choose if for example theme videos should be played sequentally or random
Thank you for considering this feature and for your work on JellyWatch!

Thanks for the detailed request. This is now available in JellyWatch.
Go to Settings → Playback → Theme and trailer order and choose In order. On a movie or series page, JellyWatch then plays every theme song, theme video, and trailer in filename order (numbers first, so 01, 02, 10, then A–Z) and repeats the queue. Random keeps the previous behavior: one theme song, and a single trailer when trailer autoplay is on.
Theme videos play on the detail page as soon as In order is selected. Trailers are added to that same queue when Trailer autoplay is enabled. To hear the video, raise Trailer volume under Appearance. If that volume is not muted, theme music stays quiet while a theme video is playing so the two do not overlap.
Jellyfin has to expose the files as theme songs, theme videos, or local trailers. Opening and ending videos are picked up when the server lists them as theme videos.

Thank you so much! I’m honestly blown away by how quickly and amazingly you implemented this.
The attention to detail in handling the queue order and smart volume priority between themes and trailers is fantastic. It makes a massive difference for curated media libraries. Truly incredible work—thank you for building such a great app and being so responsive!

Sorry to bug you again, but I noticed a minor bug on the mobile app: whenever screen orientation changes (e.g., flipping the phone from portrait to landscape) while on an item's details page, any currently playing theme song, video, or trailer restarts from the beginning.
It looks like the activity/page state is resetting on orientation change rather than retaining playback progress. Hope this helps!

Yes, that’s the case; I fixed it a few hours ago. It relates to the "Watch Party" setup—for instance, when you enter the PIN to join, the screen switches and you lose your input. This will be available in V777+.

im really sorry to bug you again, im sure i should not be asking it here but I don't get around with discord and i dont know any other way to contact you, you see Georgian is my native language and I would love to contribute by helping translate Jellywatch tv into Georgian. I'm hoping to make it accessible for my family and encourage more people in Georgia to set up their own Jellyfin instances. Please let me know how I can help with the translation if it's possible at all
