emby/jellyfin support

[binarygeek119]

emby/jellyfin are built for the same source when emby went closed source jellyfin was born.
if you add support for one the other be easy to adept to.
jellyfin is free 100%
emby is like plex
right now i run both emby and plex for other software but once they get emby/jellyfin support i will drop plex.

The plan, since day one, has been to add this. Classes are already in the code as placeholders. I run Jellyfin also.

That's fantastic to hear! There was a similar project (this one) for displaying plex images from a pi, while I asked for jellyfin and he was interested, nothing came from it, I cannot wait to see it here!

@Darkwolf1515 It will all depend on what the data and API is like. Unfortunately, the Jellyfin API seems to have no formally published doco. I'll look at this post v1, and where other enhancements with higher priority have been implemented. Feel free to send me any JF API info that you can find.

Take a look at this https://github.com/jasongdove/ErsatzTV/releases/tag/v0.0.41-prealpha he got Jellyfins API to pull posters and much much more.

@Darkwolf1515 interesting. effectively i'd have to write the whole API again in a node package to be compatible. But it does give me some ideas. There s possibly an already exisiting jellyfin node package out there. I havent even done a preliminary look as yet. I know officially, theres no doco

[Bitwolfies]

I asked him and he said he also got his docs from http://your-jellyfin-server:8096/api-docs/swagger/index.html Or something close to that directory

https://api.jellyfin.org/ and here too!

If you're using Axios, there's a generated client in the Jellyfin org. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-client-axios 📦

Thanks, I'll have a look

I'm planning to stark working on jellyfin integration in the next day or so. Will do a bit of proof of concept tasks to ensure I can get the data, then see how well it matches up with my base classes. If that works, I'm hoping it won't take too long to do
