Share button does nothing

[Nazar78]

Hi,

The share button doesn't seems to be working. Nothing happen when pressed. This is on Android 10, Samsung S9 plus.

I had looked into fixing this at one point, but the current share implementation didn't seem useful at all. What would you expect to happen when you share content?

I would expect a temporary sharing link that can be limited by clicks or time, but this feature has already been requested.

For reference, the current implementation just shares the title, description, and a link to Jellyfin's website...

This was what I expected similar to the ones shared from mobile web, also as stated in the user's profile settings. Copy & paste is not an option here so does the web.

But to be able to share the actual media webpage would be cool too 😉 of course with some sort of permission/limits or have all the media functions removed for that page unless the session is authenticated.

With the behavior explained by @thornbill

case "share":
  navigator.share({
    title: item.Name,
    text: item.Overview,
    url: "https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin"
  });
  break;

If the app is showing a photo, I think the right action should be the sharing of the photo content

Can we get a streaming link? So we can cast it using third party (non-google) apps like raspicast? The server already provides this.
