jellycon

JellyCon - Behaves more like a standard Kodi streaming addon. Media is accessed primarily by going through the Add-ons -> JellyCon menu, however you can set up menu options to link to it and show info on the home screen. It also allows easier switching between multiple Jellyfin servers or users since it doesn't have to rely on syncing all the metadata down. By not having metadata synced, it has to request info from the server which can take a bit more time when you're browsing (typically only a second or two in my testing), but you don't have to wait for the database to sync or keep it up to date.

This sounds familiar to something reported here. Right now my best guess is the skin is populating before the addon is fully loaded and then doesn't get updates, but I haven't had a chance to confirm that yet.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing though, because as far as I recall, many client apps currently do not support the usual authentication protocols. Which authentication are you referring to? If you only use the WebUI client maybe this works.
