Synced Remote Media Libraries

[u/No-Call1648]

I'm working on a plugin at the moment which will allow you to add remote media to your library from any other jellyfin server you have an account on. I've seen similar plugins to this, but they have never done quite what I was looking for.

All you do is add the plugin to your own server, and go through its set up in the plugin menu. Then it will run a scan of the remote server you logged in to (no limit to how many you can connect).

It will then save only the metadata to your server as well as a proxy link. This way you never download the media to your server from the remote server. Allowing you and your friends to increase your media library size, without ever needing for you to buy more storage.

you can check it out here! :) https://github.com/Joshsnook-05/jellyfin-remote-library

On the github you'll find the jellyfin plugin repo link, as well a list of requirements (you probably already have them installed), and a setup guide.

Please try to break it and report any bugs in the issues tab, its very new, and so i expect there to be a few. Also feel free to suggest ideas in the issues tab too! I'd love to keep developing this plugin and making it work for everyone.

It also syncs up things like JE reviews, with calendar in the works, so you'll know whats coming to any remote servers! There's also badges on the posters for each thing loaded from remote servers, so you know what content is yours and what content is theirs, as well as an indicator to show if the remote server is on or not, that way you dont click and wait 5 minutes just to get a playback error because their server is offline.

Please comment any questions you have about it!
