There is no way for a plugin to hook or alter index.html - SethBacon - 2024-06-18
Im trying every which way to get some middleware to inject into index.html or main.jellyfin.bundle.js from a plugin (based on the template) but it is impossible, or fuck you, or something..
Jellyfin server plugins cant mess with jellyfin web?

No, that is not supported.

Thank you, its a relief to know it wasn't my fault anyways. I'll go back to editing js chunks like a proper goon, but sleep soundly in my goon den knowing there wasn't a better way.

Hey,
Just wanted to mention, that it is possible.
I do it (copied it myself from Jellyscrub)

The general approach here is that you inject a new script tag into index.html on server start (can fail due to file permissions)
You will bundle a js file with your dll containing every change etc.
The script tag in index.html will call your controller/endpoint which will return the js scipt file from step 2
Sry @SethBacon for disturbing your peacful sleep
and @ devs for any question or problem that will come up because of plugins which do unsupported things

TL;DR
We dont support server plugins modfiying the WebUI because its just one client and we dont give one client preferable treatment, its a total pain to maintain and breaks every update, this kind of js injection does only really work on the webUI and no other client making it very limited in scope.
