jellyfin info popup extention - crocodile13 - 2026-02-23
Hi everyone,
I needed an extension to display information for my friends and family who use my server (for example: new features, happy birthday, “I’m rebooting tomorrow at 4 PM”, etc.).
So I coded this (well, it’s very, VERY heavily vibe-coded
… and I own it: I didn’t want to spend 10 days on it, this is not meant to be the project of the year 
).It allows you to:
- display a popup when the user logs in (each message is only shown once);
- target specific users for a message (all by default);
- keep a history of messages in a dropdown menu;
- allow the admin to selectively delete old messages.
That’s it—nothing fancy, but I was missing it. So if it can be useful to you, feel free to use it
The repo:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crocodile13/jellyfin-info-popup-extention/main/manifest.json
GitHub:
https://github.com/crocodile13/jellyfin-info-popup-extention
Basically, I made this for myself at first, but if it interests anyone, that’s great. I’ll probably keep maintaining it for my own use for a while, but it really comes with no guarantee of security or stability.
Kisses from France

Hello,
It seems that I have an issue here
I just have no space to write the message and the users do not manage to populate.
I use my test server with only 2 users.
The server is installed via Docker on a Synology NAS

Hi!!! Thanks for your feedback, the issue should be fixed now! I got a bit mixed up on the night of the release, I confused the versions, and didn’t publish the latest one… Version 1.9.0.0 should work normally
Thanks againEdit: Sorry, I just saw that you published this yesterday. Can you confirm that the bug is still present in version 1.9?
Unless I’m mistaken, the version being used is not the latest, because unless your UI is set to French, the text should appear in English.

Confirmo que no hay espacio para escribir el mensaje. Mi version es la 1.9.0.0
RE: jellyfin info popup extention - Goby - 2026-02-25
I have uninstall the plugin and re-intall with the last version 1.9.0.0 but nothing changed. The language is still french but since the global setting of the server is french, I am not surprised.
Note : I know we are both french but the aim of a Forum is to help other people who may have the same issue, so we use english to help the most.

Thank you very much for your feedback… I’ll take a closer look at the issue tomorrow. No worries about French, I think I just said that to reassure myself…
Thanks! :'(

Oh… thanks, what setup are you on? As I said, it was mainly a personal project for me at first, but it’s annoying that it doesn’t work on your side. I’ll look into it and publish again if I figure out the problem. This is the first time I’ve ventured into this, so I probably missed an obvious issue? I hope so! Thanks again for your feedback!
Two questions: which Docker image are you using? And what version of Jellyfin are you using?
Some solutions are meant to fix issues that appeared in very recent versions… it could be related to that...
Edit: I made two small changes; I hope this fixes the problem. I’ll test it tomorrow.
Edit2: If anyone takes the time to send me the console logs, I’d appreciate it—I’m out of ideas XD
RE: jellyfin info popup extention - Goby - 2026-02-27
Hey the version 1.10.0.0 works perfectly for me!! Thanks a lot mate!
The popup is trigger at the first connexion of the user only once right? It would be interresting to have an option to have this popup shown at each connexion (not only once) and to have the ability in the admin setup to activate the popup or not.
RE: jellyfin info popup extention - Goby - 2026-02-27
God damned...Since it works pretty well on my test server, I've install the plugin on my prod server and sadly it doesn't load the users "Chargement des utilisateurs...", (I have 28 users). I've uninstall & reinstall the plugin, restart the server for a try with no luck.
Edit : I don't know why but the users are now populated this morning. I didn't change anything, system manage to find a way overnigth
