comictagger VS jellyfin-docs

What you can try is to use https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger to pre-tag your books. If your books are already imported, you might need a calibre plugin called Embed Comic Metadata. So you can load your zips/cbz from the calibre folder into comictagger -> save. Then load metadata back into calibre via the plugin. BUT BE AWARE: It might override existing data like Title or Series. So doublecheck after autotagging and before re-importing metadata.

(Optional for metadata edits) ComicTagger https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger

For comics, I use comictagger + komga.

There's the bookshelf plugin that works rather well with comics and mangas in jellyfin. Most of my books/comics/mangas are tagged with the comictagger app available free on GitHub https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger.

I was going to suggest taking a look at comictagger - https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger. I'm not 100% on whether it can handle PDFs or epubs though

Well, for most manga, I first run it through ComicTagger: https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger

Look into comic-tagger. It's a CLI program which has the ability to parse file names of both CBZ and CBR and will attempt to match and pull metadata from comicvine. https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger/releases

If you do go with another alternative, you can still use ComicVine data with something like ComicTagger. I've not personally used it, but I've seen others use it with success. Hopefully that helps!

I had issues getting it to stream directly to my TV. It wasn't easy to find but what solved it for me was changing the DLNA profile settings like this example: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-docs/issues/233

It kinda depends on what languages you wanna work with and if you wanna be in the server or in a client. There's a rudimentary/incomplete (and probably somewhat out of date) source tree document located here.

Indirectly possible with NGINX: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-docs/pull/689

Seems skimpy.. below is JF HA Accel documentation. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-docs/blob/master/general/administration/hardware-acceleration.md/

If the developers don't provide instructions it'll be harder. But, for example, the maintainers of the Jellyfin project (an open source media system for playing local files) have an extensive page of instructions here for how to install it on various types of systems. They recommend using docker containers on Linux, and have instructions for that. But if you scroll down further they give you line-by-line commands to run on different types of Linux systems.

I found some documentation on the manga / comic specific metadata providers here, but note that no online metadata provider has been added for mangas / comics. It's all based on local files or on the ones used by books.

This has been submitted as a PR to the jellyfin docs page, and would love to see it get merged in there too!

For the file structure, there is some documentation on GitHub. Or you could use the documentation for books. As there is no online metadata provider (right now), it doesn't matter that much. The naming scheme of the comic documentation on GitHub is similar to the one comictagger uses (which is a ComicVine scraper).

Depends on your media but here are the integrated Intel capabilities. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/QuickSync . Here is the general transcoding page: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-docs/blob/master/general/administration/hardware-acceleration.md/
