[Guide] Jellyfin with Potplayer - Damocles_ - 2025-04-03
Hi, let me know if something is broken.
This tutorial explains how to set up Jellyfin Server on Windows to:
• Launch media from the Jellyfin web interface directly in PotPlayer.
• Optional : Clickable link to the local media folder from the Jellyfin media information panel.
• Optional : Start and stop the Jellyfin server automatically at launching the web interface and closing it.
• Bonus : Select text and one click search selection on IMDB, Youtube, or any websites
Someone made that recently https://github.com/johnpc/jellyfin-plugin-custom-javascript
Jellyfin server add-on for having the javascript integrated in the server, with that the two .js script won't require a browser extension like ViolentMonkey
But it affects the web jellyfin page on every browser and localpath still need a Firefox extension, so I'm not sure if it may cause more issue on other device/browsers...
Update :
- Readme with optional features and clearer instructions
- Easier installation, no need to edit scripts during the installation, it should work with any local drives and library
- Fixed : Local files links actually work
- Fixed : multiple windows opening

You're welcome even if you're a bot!
For the custom Jellyfin service server launcher, I made a cleaner solution, with auto install, multi browser auto-install, possibility for custom .bat at launch, no console popup window, notification etc.. But I haven't test it on another computer yet. You can try if you want it's there attached to this post. I may do an auto-install for Potplayer support too but idk I'm pretty sure antivirus won't like that, because it need to install firefox/chrome adds-ons and a scripts into it...
