Select by studio

[Emmanuel Eytan]

Hello.

I'd like to start using Jellyfin more. One of the things that would get me to do that is to be able to see a movie's studio on the title page, and for that studio to be linked to a selection to all movies from that studio. Ideally, I'd like that on the web and on the standalone client. (I'm on Linux.)

I'd love to program that myself, but I have no idea as to where to get started: the codebase is so HUGE. Can anyone help with that?

Thanks.

Explore Codebase:
Look into the src directory, particularly components or pages where movie details might be displayed.
Find the relevant files handling the display of movie information.

---

Modify UI to Include Studio Information:
Identify Movie Metadata Handling:

Find where the movie metadata is fetched and processed.
Ensure that the studio information is included in this metadata.
Modify UI Component:

Update the UI component responsible for displaying movie details to include the studio information.
This might involve editing React components or HTML templates.

Thanks so Much @FireSale!

I didn't find references to React when I was looking through the source, but that makes a lot of sense. I also saw that the standalone client is simply Electron, which is great. There also seems to be a Vue.js alternative to React. How simple is it to use it? (I can use React, but I'd much rather use Vue. If it's not done or not recommended, I can absolutely use React.)

@FireSale So in this repo https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin, I don't find any file or directory containing the phrase "controller" or "page," except for the interface IHasWebPages. This leads me to think that I'm looking in the wrong place. Am I?

Bumping this one as I was going to start creating Collections for this, but given Studio data is already part of a movies metadata, I'm looking for how I can display it below the Genres/Director/Writers section of the movie screen.

How can I do this, noting I'm not a developer at all and the initial response is far too vague for me to understand.
