Jellyshare

A Jellyfin plugin for sharing libraries between servers.

Limitations

This plugin is in a very early alpha state. Do not expect stability.

Development

Requirements

Preamble

Create three directories at /DevData/Media/{1,2,3}. Place any number of movies in each directory. The Blender Foundation has produced many freely licensed movies which may be useful for this purpose.

Build

$ Scripts/Run

Use

Three Jellyfin instances will be running at http://localhost:8081, http://localhost:8082, and http://localhost:8083. Access each instance and go through their installers. Create a Movie library in each instance using the relevant media folders discussed previously in the preamble.

Create a new API key for each instance. Pick any instance, access its Jellyshare configuration in the Plugins tab, and add two new remote servers. Be warned that error handling is almost non existent. If invalid data is preventing the server from launching, you may need to first delete DevData/Config/?/plugins/configuration/Jellyshare.xml.

Start the Jellyshare Sync task within the Schedules Tasks tab. The task should take a few seconds at most.

If an error occurs at any step, check the latest log file. Feel free to create an issue with all your relevant information, but remember that this software is freely provided and I provide no guarantee of support.
