jellyfin-kodi VS jellyfin-web

If you want to replicate this, try Kodi plus the Jellyfin Kodi addon.

Funny thing is I found about it by accident on jellyfin kodi github Issues page trying to see how to fix/repirt some bugs I experienced https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/issues/647

In the specific context of the jellyfin for kodi plugin :

JellyCon appears to work just fine. Jellyfin for Kodi is suffering from an upstream Python bug if you're running Python 3.11.0 that causes it to crash, but there's nothing we can do until they push updates out. issue.

There appears to be some incompatibility with the AndroidTV (and maybe normal Android?) build of Kodi specifically. Haven't tracked down what it is yet, as I kinda need users to do the debugging for me due me not having the relevant hardware myself. It's being tracked here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/issues/705

Jellyfin-Kodi - "thick" Kodi addon. syncs metadata from the JF server into Kodi's local database for a native Kodi feel.

It happens in native mode as well. The issue has been reported here https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/issues/571 and I don't see it being resolved any time soon but I guess using external players with kodi is a niche thing so that's understandable.

Welcome to the club. Nobody currently understands why this happens and until somebody manages to track down whatever the flag is that triggers it, we won't be able to fix it. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/issues/169

pretty sure all of them require an authenticated user but this one was just fresh in my mind: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/security/advisories/GHSA-89hp-h43h-r5pq

I noticed there is a feature request HERE and an already merged PR HERE. I'm running the current Jellyfin 10.8.10 via docker.

I don't think it's currently possible to define additional data for an author (like a small summary of the authors works etc.), like the TV shows and movies do via online metadata providers. That there is no author's page and that a book series isn't grouped together is as far as I'm aware a limitation of the GUI ( https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web ).

If you build everything from source you also need to build the web client, so a small dive into the whole JavaScript / Node.js ecosystem will be required.

I assume its the new version has more problems detecting the right codec as seen in this post: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/issues/3690

You only have a part of the config.json file. Here's the rest. My config.json looks like this and I have my custom menu links. I did have to go into the site settings and clear all cache/data for them to show up.

Mh. I would claim that AV1 is the problem here. But looking at this issue here AV1 should work in combination with WebM.
