Jellyfin - open source media center

[jdaviescoates]

@mehdi looking forward to trying it out! I'm assuming you're planning on getting your package into the app store?

[mehdi]

I am indeed, but you can try it before
If you have already packaged any app, it's really easy: https://git.cloudron.io/mehdi/river/

As Emby isn't open source anymore and you even have to pay for apps, Jellyfin would be a perfect replacement for the Emby app!

[mehdi]

@imc67 It is packaged in my river app you can try it ! feedback is welcome https://git.cloudron.io/mehdi/river/

This is being worked on here - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/jellyfin-app/ (it's contributed by a cloudron user, cannot find him on this forum).

[mehdi]

@girish I have already done major work for jellyfin in my river app, like ldap integration & such. We should coordinate to avoid duplicate work

[girish]

@mehdi Indeed, but we are not actually working on the app. Can you open an issue in the gitlab maybe? @nebulon what is the best way to reach the contributor?

[nebulon]

So laur is working on the app and pushing merge requests to this repo https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/jellyfin-app

@mehdi I am sure it would be very helpful if you want to contribute there as well

[mehdi]

@nebulon It's actually already completely done in my river repository, just packaged with other stuff to be more useful (like transmission, to download stuff directly into the app instead of adding every piece of media manually)

It would be more a matter of splitting my already existing package to keep only what's necessary for Jellyfin, not the rest.

However, I have used the isAdmin flag in my implementation, which if I understand correctly is now deprecated (for reasons I still do not understand BTW ^^). I do not really see any easy way of having a user be admin, except by not using cloudron's user system at all.

I'd quite like to see your full package in the app store!

At some point I want to try using it to set up a home media server thing too...

[mehdi]

@jdaviescoates I would love that too It has been awaiting review for a while You can go ahead and try it right now !

It should be ready now. @nebulon is reviewing it (not sure if he has finished yet). It should be published soon.

[cve.random]

It is released as unstable for now. Enjoy !
