possible plugin idea - binarygeek119 - 2024-08-12 i have a idea for a plugin that some might find useful. i'm hoping this post would get some developers attention. if this is not the right place to post this please let me know and i will move it to the right place. what i would like to create is a plug in that display posters from jellyfin to a url to be used by a display. im using posterr which is a digital poster display app that i use to randomly show movie posters. the issue is it's plex only. right now i have plex setup just for the posters. my use case is i have a home cinema that i have themed the whole room. and i use this app so i'm not locked in to just 2 posters. as i use a double display. this also lets me show whats playing now, but does not work on jellyfin. what i like to see with a plugin is. posters with meta data. the primary image as poster  rating (G PG PG13 R NR) studio runtime release data rotten tomatoes score tag line all this in a nice ui that gets served to a url. like http://jellyfinhostip:port/jellyfinpostersplugin i can then setup my displays to point to that url. (raspberry pis running fullpageos pointed to http://jellyfinhostip:port/jellyfinpostersplugin ) i would also like some of these down the line to be added. now playing (be able to set a client to show what is play on it with a progress bar for how far along it is) multi displays for this the plugin would need to serve more then one url. like  http://jellyfinhostip:port/jellyfinposterspluginurl2. coming soon this would show upcoming films that has yet to be released. (would have to pull info from another database) time slots. being able to set time for movies to be show, and then have a list of upcoming showings. timeslot generate. be able to generate random showing base on your media. transitions. have nice fx for going from one poster to another. ads. not real ads but one you like for yourself. i use fake concessions ads that i have made myself. facts. be able to display facts or trivia about movies be able to tell the multi displays to do different things.  url1 does just posters and now showing. url2 does ads and time slots i be willing show draw some proof of concept for the ui if the dev need that. anyway thinks for read this. all i hope is that someone can help fill this void after i switch from plex. that way i can cut off plex ones and for all. i would love to hear others thoughts or wants on this.
