      A fork of Emby before they went closed source.

        I'm actually working on it, in a package with a bunch of other stuff in the same app so it can actually be useful (Transmission to download stuff, SickChill to auto-download TV Shows, and a custom file manager). I'd love feedback if you want to check it out : https://git.cloudron.io/mehdi/river/

          I've made a quick cloudron build here as a merge of River and Emby repos.

            @eyecreate How well does your version work? I was thinking of modifying it to include some type of file sharing server (I am not sure if something like VPN+SMB, SFTP, or maybe even a torrent downloader?)

              @murgero haven't tested extensively, but cloudron supports sftp access for all containers now.

                @murgero this is basically what my app "River" does. It packages Jellyfin together with Transmission for downloading stuff + CouchPotato & Sickchill to automate + a simple file manager

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

                    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!

                          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).

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

                              @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?

                                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 🙂

                                  @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...

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