# Jellyfin Binding
|
||||
|
||||
This is the binding for [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org) the volunteer-built media solution that puts you in control of your media.
|
||||
Stream to any device from your own server, with no strings attached.
|
||||
Your media, your server, your way.
|
||||
This binding allows connect to Jellyfin clients that supports remote control, it's build on top of the official Jellyfin kotlin sdk.
|
||||
Compatible with Jellyfin servers from version 10.8.1, recommended 10.8.13.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Things
|
||||
|
||||
This binding was tested against the android tv, and web clients.
|
||||
The only problem that I found is that the channels play-next-by-terms and play-last-by-terms don't work currently on the android tv client.
|
||||
|
||||
Before open an issue please test you are able to correctly control your device from the Jellyfin web ui to identify whetter is an issue on the client itself.

This binding allows you to connect to Jellyfin clients that supports remote control, it's built on top of the official Jellyfin Kotlin SDK.
|
||||
It is compatible with Jellyfin servers from version `10.8.1`, recommended is `10.8.13`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
Before you are able to discover clients you should have a bridge to the server so until one is online the discovery will only look for servers on your local network. Once one is online the discovery will detect controllable clients connected to that server.
|
||||
To discover clients, you must first configure a server (bridge).
|
||||
After that, device discovery will detect controllable clients.

## Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
To allow the server thing to go online you should provide valid credentials for the user that the biding will use to interact with the server api (userId and token configuration properties).
|
||||
To allow the server thing to go online, you must provide valid credentials (`userId` and `token`) for the user that the biding will use to interact with the server.
|
||||
Please note that the user should be allowed on the Jellyfin server to remote control devices.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to assist you with this process the binding expose a simple login form you can access on \<local openHAB server url\>/jellyfin/\<server thing id\> for example `http://127.0.0.1:8080/jellyfin/2846b8fb60ad444f9ebd085335e3f6bf`.

The terms search has a default behavior that can be modified sending some predefined prefixes.
|
||||
The terms search has a default behavior that can be modified by sending some predefined prefixes.
|
||||
|
||||
The default behavior will look for movies, series, or episodes whose name start with the provided text, if it found results the prevalence go as said before.
|
||||
If the result is a series the binding will try to resume some episode, if not it will look for the next episode to watch and finally will fall back to the first episode.
|
||||
The default behavior is to search for movies, series or episodes whose name starts with the given text.
|

If it finds results the bind will proceed as said before.
|
||||
If the result is a series, the binding will try to resume some episode.
|

If not, it will look for the next episode to watch and finally will fall back to the first episode.
|
||||
|
||||
You can prefix your search with '\<type:movie\>', '\<type:episode\>', '\<type:series\>' to restrict your search to a given type.
|
||||
You can prefix your search with `<type:movie>`, `<type:episode>`, `<type:series>` to limit your search to a specific type.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, you can target a specific series episode by season and episode numbers prefixing your search with '\<season:1\>\<episode:1\>' with the desired values. So '\<season:3\>\<episode:10\>Something' will try to play the episode 10 for the season 3 of the series named 'Something'.
|
||||
You can also search for a specific series episode by season and episode number by prefixing your search with `<season:1><episode:1>` with the desired values.
|
||||
So `<season:3><episode:10>Something` will try to play episode `10` of season `3` of the series called `Something`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
This binding has been tested with an Android TV and web client.
|
||||
The only issue that was found is that the `play-next-by-terms` and `play-last-by-terms` channels currently don't work on the Android TV client.
|
||||
|
||||
Before opening an issue, please test that you are able to control your device correctly from the Jellyfin web UI to determine if it is a client-side issue.
