    The Free Software Media System

  • I ran into this with HDR. I have a fork/branch that strips that logic block out and it works great

  • intro-skipper

    Discontinued Fingerprint audio to automatically detect and skip intro sequences in Jellyfin

  • There is a introskip plugin for jellyfin it's in beta and does not work with all clients yet but it very good at intro detecting for most of my shows. Most of the client app developers have added support for the plugin apart for some that say the plugin is not official they will not add the intro skip button until it is officially accepted in jellyfin.

  • Video-Hub-App

    Official repository for Video Hub App

  • semi-on-topic: I created Video Hub App that is like YouTube for local files: shows you a gallery with scrub-able (preview on hover) thumbnails. But does not work streaming videos to TV / tablet - only for local consumption. Hope someone finds it useful.

  • SkiaSharp

    SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms based on Google's Skia Graphics Library. It provides a comprehensive 2D API that can be used across mobile, server and desktop models to render images.

  • It looks like the port was compiled with a binary SkiaSharp [0] since that requires Google tooling to build. Interesting to see the committer allowing this. Apparently it is not the first time.

  • jellytin

  • If you're interested in exposing your Jellyfin instance over the internet, I put together a guide:

  • Swiftfin

    Native Jellyfin Client for iOS and tvOS

  • Jellyfin is my jam, it just works. Its administration interface is intuitive, pretty solid, personally I think the dashboard looks good aesthetically, and most importantly it’s open source so if anything is broken I can just fix it myself. If anyone is interested in feel free to check out Swiftfin (https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin) a native iOS client

  • jellyfish

    General purpose media server. Supports WebRTC, HLS, RTSP, SIP (by jellyfish-dev)

  • So confusing, there is also Jellyfish [0] which is also a media server written in Elixir.

    Use case is obv different but close enough that I needed to triple check that I'm not going mad.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • jfa-go

    a better way to manage your Jellyfin users, now in go

  • Look into jfa-go. I run it on the side and it hard-integrates into Jellyfin and adds a lot of account management stuff and the group/policy specific config you're mentioning

  • jellyfin-server-freebsd

    jellyfin-server component for freebsd

  • video-hub-app-gatsby-website

    Public website for Video Hub App 3 built with Gatsby

  • Thank you for the bug report! I've known about this one for a while -- I think it appeared after I updated Gatsby to the latest version.

    I'd love to migrate to Hugo (which I've been loving) but it will be a hassle with moving every page into 20+ languages.
