Looks great on first pass! I'll test it out later and merge it in. Thanks for the contribution! |

Would it be possible to support playlists with this too? The shuffle feature is what I'm primarily using this for. |

What is collection_parm? Should this be collection?

Yes, you're right. I think I changed the name trying to avoid confusion, but missed one.

@jvonhoff Sorry I took a while to circle back to this. Check out my one comment. Other than that, looks and works great! I'll merge as soon as that comment is resolved. |
Are you looking to just copy a playlist to dizqueTV and shuffle it? |
Yes |

Adding the token as a parameter, so that the script doesn't need to change per user
|
I fixed the collection variable name, and also added the option to have the plex token as a parameter, rather than having to update the script. |

Any issue with the PR? I have another change to the new channel_builder.py script (--force so that it isn't interactive, for scripting purposes). Also considering adding a search by Title (--section "TV Shows" --title "Friends" "Seinfeld" "The Office (US)") to build a channel from single/multiple shows/movies that aren't collected by Genre, Collection, etc. |

Sorry, forgot about this PR. Merging now. |
Namely, I was missing the ability to add items from Collections, which is one mechanism I use to group my shows/movies. With this, I can create a channel using the "70s & 80s TV" collection, as well as optionally adding "Paramount Studios" and even "Westerns" to the mix, if I wanted to get really specific.
Let me know if you have issues or thoughts, and thanks for laying all the groundwork!
