Questions pluggins 10.10 - Duvel - 2024-10-27
Hi
I would like to know what the Transcode Killer Plugin does exactly.
I think the description on github should be updated because it isn't accurate enough to fully understand : Plugin to automatically kill transcoded streams.
Also I can't find what is the new song lyrics plugin

The transcode killer plugin stops transcode sessions if the media is above a configured resolution
RE: Questions pluggins 10.10 - Duvel - 2024-10-27
Still not clear, sorry.
Does it stops the streams before they can't happen ?
If yes what happens next??
Does it prevent viewers not having the appropriate client to watch a movie?
What are the benefits and cons of having this on your server?

It does not prevent playback attempts from happening altogether. The plugin monitors for ffmpeg processes and if the resolution exceeds the plugin's configured maximum it will kill the ffmpeg process, resulting in a playback error on the client. The ffmpeg process does not spawn until a client attempts to initiate playback.

MMMh am I am right stating that this is more aimed at servers having very heavy quality stuff like 4K ?
Also could you tell me what the new song lyrics plugin is ? I cant find something relevant in the catalog

Or severely underpowered servers, like RPis.
A lyrics provider is still experimental, but is available at one of our dev's git.

Add the repo manifest to Jellyfin and it should make the lyrics downloader plugin available in the catalog.

It should be added to the official repo sooner rather than later.

The lyrics plugin has been moved to the official plugin repository.
