Module: Jellyfin

A simple (list navigation focused) Jellyfin client for browsing and playback of content on a CRT TV.

Allows you to view content from a connected server and it's libraries associated with one user. It requires internet access as well as authentication via Jellyfin "quick connect" to function.

Settings

Option	Values	Info
Enabled	On/Off	Sets if the Plex module should display in the main module list when you start 240-MP.
Libraries	Dynamic (based on the connected server)	Allows you to select which libraries you would like to display when browsing the connected server.
Video Quality	Direct Playback and Transcoding Options	Direct playback will stream the video direct from your server to your device. On a Raspberry Pi 4 I've had success with 1080p HEVC files but depending on bitrate your mileage may vary. If you are trying to watch video that a Raspberry Pi can't natively decode then you can use this option to have your connected server transcode the content before sending to the Raspberry Pi for playback.
Resume Playback	Ask/Always	Ask will present you with an option to restart playback or resume and Always will resume without asking.
Auto Play Next Episode	On/Off	Defaults to off, if turned on it will auto play the next episode from a given season until the end of a season
Sign Out	--	Signs you out of Jellyfin and deauthorizes 240-MP from your connected server. When you open the Jellyfin module you will be asked to connect to a server again.

Future Ideas
