So I went ahead and followed the directions at https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/client...menu-links to add a link to jellyseerr, and while the configuration process was fairly straight forward the link has this annoying habit of not showing up for any browser that has been logged in previously. It works in an incognito tab well enough, and I can force the links to show up by hitting Ctrl + F5, but if I then refresh normally or close and reopen the site the link disappears again. The only way I've found to get the link to show up reliably is by opening browser settings and selecting "clear cookies and site data" (clearing cache alone doesn't do the trick).
That's all fine and well for my own browser, but I'd rather not ask everybody that has access to my server to clear all their cookies every time I update some links in jellyfin. Is there some kind of secret sauce here for getting the config.json changes to take for clients that haven't cleared all their cookies? I had hoped the caching would sort itself out given enough time, but it's been over 24 hours now and I'm starting to doubt that's going to happen.
Edit: Just in case it matters, I'm running jellyfin in docker and have also remapped /jellyfin/jellyfin-web/config.json within the container to web-config.json on the host.
