Access a webpage in Jellyfin - FrederickTF - 2023-11-15
Hello Jellyfin Forum User
i am currently rethinking my setup, and i think that my ideal setup requires a plugin that does not exist (yet?). I would like to know if this is something that i missed or if there is something currently in the work for that.
i would like a way to access a web page direcly in jellyfin itself. And ideally this web page would be routed through the jellyfin server and not directly to the web (to have less service exposed on my server).
My use-case would be to allow someone to access my overseerr instance without needing to go to the web ( I send the link to my mom each month when she wants something .... -_-). jellyfin would be then be a complete one stop solution that i can install on my parrents phone and everithing would be contained in it. they wants a movie, she can click on something and it would open the webpage to overseerr in the app (idealy connection routed to the server). completely transparent for her. i could also add the link to any other docker just for my convenience.
( also could think of other things: Maybe we could access the web version of netflix through that? its not the goal but would be a great side effect)
so my questions are:
- is there already a way to do that?
- (if not) are you aware of any plugin development that would allow that?
- (if not) is that even possible to develop a plugin for that?
- (bonus)is it a dumb idea and should forget it?
Thanks in advance for your time, my searches did not return any result for this.
Regards,

Maybe this https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr

What you’re looking to do isn’t really possible, and plug-ins aren’t accessible by non-admins.
You can however add custom menu links:

Do these menu links open inside Jellyfin? Could I link to Tubi TV, for example, and watch it in Jellyfin?

No, they would open in your normal browser.

@SethBacon Thanks for this link. It does not do what i was looking to do ( have access to it from jellyfin) but i think i will change to jellyseerr for the user integration feature. thanks for this recommendation.
@crobibero oh this is interesting! i did not know of this feature! i would say it is the closest i think i can get to what i want (unless someone here have a better idea). it does 60% of what i want. If i use jellyseerr and expose it to the web, then at least the user will always be able to find it in the app and just be able to click on it. An integrated browser would have been better, but at least now every user workflow starts from Jellyfin.
Thanks for your help

oh and BTW, i found this feature request today: https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/2435/custom-menu-links-in-jellyfins-native-apps-using-e-g-webview
i have been looking at it for weeks before posting, maybe i should have searched again right before posting.
