Getting started! - renegadeandy - 2024-11-05
Hi all.
I am getting started with Jellyfin development. My motivation is so I can lead the way with developing the solution for this feature request I made : https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/2942/i-would-like-jellyfin-to-have-a-compatible-sonos-content-service-for-first-class-sonos-integration
I have already done the following:
- Read the guidelines
- Read the getting started documentation
- Forked the master server project
- Created a feature branch for my work
- Cloned my fork
- Loaded VSCode (On MacOS)
- Cloned and built the Jellyfin web project
- Installed appropriate plugins
- Now I am looking at 'running' the server for the first time from source.
- I have opened Jellyfin.Server.launchSettings.json and added "JELLYFIN_WEB-DIR" with the path to my dist output from the npm build development command, to the environment variables for the "Jellyfin.Server".environmentVariables
- Now! How do I actually run the Jellyfin.Server project within VSCode. I cannot seem to find the right 'starting' point (this could be my VSCode basics failing me). I do have the F# solution explorer and in their I have a nice green run button, and I select the jellyfin.server project, however it leads you to think it has started something, I don't believe it has (No output on the screen and also nothing in web browser on localhost:8096
Looking forward for some simple guidance on a step I am surely missing - thank you in advance!

Turns out I had defined
JELLYFIN_WEB-DIR
But the variable is actualy
JELLYFIN_WEB_DIR - changing this and hitting Run -> Run and the project starts! Great!

Mixing underscores and hyphens? You monster.

Encouraging dev kickstart story! I am considering the same for some unrelated feature and/or plugin work. Thanks for posting.
