Finally a 'What’s New' banner for Jellyfin Web - JellyHunter - 2025-05-18

Hi,

Just came across a neat Jellyfin plugin called Editor’s Choice that adds a full-width featured content slider to the main screen, giving it a Netflix-style feel.
It pulls content from a specified user’s favourites or can display a completely random selection of films and series. There’s also the option to filter what's shown by minimum community or critic ratings. It has been requested for years but for some reason always been shut down...

A nice touch for anyone looking to make their Jellyfin UI feel more dynamic and more modern!

There have been different variations of this around forever… in fact the plugin you link to initially released over a year ago. Another popular one seems to be the media bar plugin (https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-jellyfin-media-bar).

And just as a reminder, we strongly advise against plugins modifying the web interface since that causes a lot of issues for people.

Also the request has never been “shut down” but features must be implemented in a way that enables all clients to support the feature. There are discussions around enabling this type of experience currently in progress even.
