There is no way for a plugin to hook or alter index.html

[SethBacon]

Im trying every which way to get some middleware to inject into index.html or main.jellyfin.bundle.js from a plugin (based on the template) but it is impossible, or fuck you, or something..

Jellyfin server plugins cant mess with jellyfin web?

[crobibero]

No, that is not supported.

Thank you, its a relief to know it wasn't my fault anyways. I'll go back to editing js chunks like a proper goon, but sleep soundly in my goon den knowing there wasn't a better way.

Hey,

Just wanted to mention, that it is possible.
I do it (copied it myself from Jellyscrub)

The general approach here is that you inject a new script tag into index.html on server start (can fail due to file permissions)
You will bundle a js file with your dll containing every change etc.
The script tag in index.html will call your controller/endpoint which will return the js scipt file from step 2

Sry @SethBacon for disturbing your peacful sleep
and @ devs for any question or problem that will come up because of plugins which do unsupported things

You shouldn't have to say sorry for being creative and finding new ways and ideas to make Jellyfin even better, I salute you bro!

TL;DR
We dont support server plugins modfiying the WebUI because its just one client and we dont give one client preferable treatment, its a total pain to maintain and breaks every update, this kind of js injection does only really work on the webUI and no other client making it very limited in scope.
