Jellyfin

In HomeSeer review v1.0.0.0 Media

Reports and controls what is playing on a Jellyfin media server.

What your Jellyfin server knows, in HomeSeer, live over its own push channel: who is watching what, what just arrived, and one-line events for start, pause, stop and the last five minutes.

What it does

  • Every Jellyfin player as HomeSeer devices, with a choice of every player, only this network's, or none until you add them
  • What is playing, who is watching, progress, minutes and seconds left, file and size, and the poster
  • Transport on each player, plus Resume last: the last thing it played, from where it stopped
  • The player's own volume and mute, with a slider and buttons, where the app reports them
  • Server-wide: streams, local and remote, transcoding, what arrived today and in which library, library size, scanning, updates
  • Jellyfin's own CPU and memory, where its optional metrics are switched on
  • One-line event triggers: a player starts, pauses, resumes, stops or finishes; nears the end; something new arrives; the server goes offline
  • Event actions: control any or every player, show a message on the TV, play a playlist or a title, scan a library
  • Playlists exported and imported as M3U, PLS, XSPF, WPL, JRiver, iTunes, CSV and more, matched to your library by file
  • Live updates over the server's own push channel, within seconds, not on a poll

What you need

  • A Jellyfin server reachable on the local network
  • An API key, made in Jellyfin's own dashboard in under a minute
