jellyfin upload without play, how to reset video itemid - jibwf - 2025-01-30
jellyfin video get stream API does not need authenticate, so after my link shared, then anyone can download file from jellyfin.

How to reset this video itemid?
RE: jellyfin upload without play, how to reset video itemid - TheDreadPirate - 2025-01-30
When you "Copy Stream URL" it includes an API key. So in that way it is "authenticated". But, obviously, this is intended to be shared with trusted users and not openly share it. Jellyfin is NOT meant to openly share videos unauthenticated.
If you go to Dashboard > Devices and delete the token associated with the API key in the original stream URL that link will no longer work. This is preferable to changing the itemid.
The only way to change the itemid is to remove it, rescan your library so the item is removed, add the video back into your library, scan again. It will get a new itemid.

Note that item ids are derived from the full path so you may need to rename it to get a different item id.
