I've read the documentation.

I have read the current limitations, and confirmed that this hasn't been requested as a feature request previously.

Your Feature Request

My main issue is that Youtube channels that have multiple series or playlists are grouped together under the same creator. So while I have them separate under TA as playlist subscriptions, in Plex it gets messy.

eg.
https://www.youtube.com/@GLITCH/playlists

I have subscriptions for both Murder Droids and The Amazing Digital Circus within TA, but within Plex these are just jumbled into the GLITCH channel by release date.

Describe the solution you'd like

Any possibility to have these separated into Seasons? The current Seasons implementation (by year) isn't very useful overall (unless it's a channel that uploads FREQUENTLY), but it would be great if there's a way to split them up by Seasons or some other way vs the current method.

Yes, I will work on this in the next few days or weeks.

@lamusmaser commented on GitHub (Dec 20, 2024):

This is similar to #38, which is already in consideration and being developed.

At a high level, we cannot replace the Seasons mechanism. Because of how Plex handles Seasons natively, we cannot create a non-numerical reference for those seasons. Additionally, a YouTube Playlist crosses channels, then it would not be referenceable by Plex, either. As such, the best solution is to import the YT Playlists as native Plex Playlists.
