Jellyfin v12 widget 404 error

[nisball]

Description

Getting the following 404 errors from the widget after upgrading Jellyfin to v12:
error: <jellyfinProxyHandler> HTTP Error 404 calling http://redactedip:8096/emby/Sessions?api_key=redacted
error: <jellyfinProxyHandler> HTTP Error 404 calling http://redactedip:8096/emby/Items/Counts?api_key=redacted

It was fine on Jellyfin v11. Possibly Jellyfin has changed something with the api?

Hi @nisball! I'm Dosu and I'm helping the homepage team.

Jellyfin 12 removed the legacy /emby/-prefixed routes that the widget uses by default (version 1), which is what's producing the 404s on /emby/Sessions and /emby/Items/Counts [1]. Homepage has a version 2 mode that calls the native, non-prefixed endpoints (Sessions, Items/Counts) with a MediaBrowser Token header instead of the api_key query param [1].

Add version: 2 to your widget config:

widget:
  type: jellyfin
  url: http://redacted:8096
  key: redacted
  version: 2
  fields: ["movies", "series"]
  enableBlocks: true
  enableNowPlaying: true
  enableUser: true
  enableMediaControl: true
  showEpisodeNumber: true
  expandOneStreamToTwoRows: true

A maintainer confirmed this fix for other Jellyfin 12 users in a related discussion [2]. Do the errors persist after you add version: 2?
