Jellyfin Pre roll Plugin - DawidDe - 2024-03-28
Hi Jellyfin Community,
As stated in the title, I am encountering an issue with the Jellyfin preroll plugin. Initially, I attempted to use this plugin (https://github.com/dkanada/jellyfin-plugin-intros) after watching a video, but unfortunately, it did not work for me and others on the internet. Subsequently, I discovered this plugin (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plugin-intros), which is an official plugin from Jellyfin. Since there was no download link provided, I decided do build it myself.
Firstly, i downloaded .NET 6 from the link provided in the readme. Then, I downloaded the zip file and extracted its contents. Within the jellyfin-plugin-intros-master directory, I opened CMD. However, when I type "dotnet publish --configuration release --output bin", I receive the following error message (translated):
E:\jellyfin -plugin-intros-master>dotnet publish --configuration release --output bin
The command "dotnet" is either misspelled or could not be found.
What steps should I take to resolve this issue?

I believe the version that was forked into the Jellyfin Project is for the upcoming 10.9 release and that version may not work with 10.8.

Okay, thank you for the reply. Is there already a 10.9 beta? Because I saw a guy who had the beta installed (https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-time-to-kill-a-paused-video-in-10-9-0?pid=17124#pid17124). And if there is a beta, how can I install it?
RE: Jellyfin Pre roll Plugin - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-28
It looks like you're on Windows since you referred to "E:\". There is a "portable" version of unstable that you can install.
https://repo.jellyfin.org/?path=/server/windows/latest-unstable/amd64
Follow these instructions. Make sure to make use of the custom data path options so you don't overwrite your existing jellyfin data.
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/windows#install-manually-portable
You would need to stop your current Jellyfin instance and then start the unstable portable instance. Once you completed the initial setup of the unstable instance, go to the Networking settings in the dashboard and change the port the unstable instance listens on to port 8097. You may need to add a firewall rule manually for port 8097. Restart the unstable instance and it should now listen on port 8097. Start your existing stable instance and it will remain on the default port 8096.
There are weekly releases for unstable. Usually on Mondays so use that first link to check for updates. Download the new unstable release and replace the files.

Oh, sorry for not providing the information initially. My Jellyfin server runs on my Raspberry Pi 4, which is running Ubuntu Server 23.10. I found the repository list for Ubuntu. Is it true that, for example, "+ubu2004" stands for Ubuntu 20.04?
RE: Jellyfin Pre roll Plugin - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-28
If you're on Ubuntu, I'd recommend using Docker for the same reason. So you can use unstable along side stable.
Oh. And you'll need to follow these directions to add the unstable compatible plugin repo.
