emby/jellyfin as Media Servers

[binarygeek119]

i like to have emby to use as a media server for this app
emby/jellyfin are built for the same source when emby went closed source jellyfin was born.
if you add support for one the other be easy to adept to.
jellyfin is free 100%
emby is like plex

Jellyfin is on the list of media servers to support eventually, and additional media server types was structured into the codebase already. I was waiting for Jellyfin to have a couple more native clients before I switched from Plex myself, in the interim I've not spun up a Jellyfin server to test with yet. However, yes, this is on the roadmap. Thanks for the issue.

If it helps to someone meanwhile, this is what I have done to allow Jellyfin to show the Tubesync content.

I mapped the download directory of Tubesync to one created specially for Jellyfin YouTube videos, as a share (NAS). So, all the downloaded videos from Tubesync will be saved directly into that directory, which will allow Jellyfin to scan them, as usual (like movies, series...).

from what SmartPhoneLover said, it sounds like all that is needed is to copy the files over to JellyFin.

I plan on personally moving to Jellyfin at some point which is when I'd add an interface to add it as a media server. Happy to accept PRs to add it before that though.

Also requesting this, would be perfect to use this toghether with emby.

There is a fork with this implemented:

Does someone want to test that? If it works for you I'll commit it with a reference to the source.

I've built a test image with that commit included:

docker pull ghcr.io/tcely/tubesync:jellyfin

[binarygeek119]

i cant seem to add my jellyfin server. i dont see a place to add jellyfin and if i add it to the plex fields i get 'Plex Media Server library ID "Youtube" at position 1 must be an integer'

using docker 'ghcr.io/tcely/tubesync:jellyfin'

Ok. So it needs more work.

If anyone wants to open a pull request against my branch, I'll be happy to review and merge into a new build.

I've hooked up the Jellyfin user interface and built a new image if anyone wants to test that their library is refreshing properly.

docker pull ghcr.io/tcely/tubesync:jellyfin
