Can my plugin be included in the official manifest?

[Amything]

Hey,

Wondering how I can submit my plugin for consideration in the official plugin catalogue, if that is even possible?

Cheers!

You can create your own plugin repository (JSON-)manifest file that people can add to their server to install your plugin.

Thanks Niels, yes I'm already doing that. Would be nice to be in the main catalogue for the sake of discoverability so I'm wondering how it works.

Oh I misunderstood your question. The default plugin catalog will only list official Jellyfin plugins available in the Jellyfin GitHub organization. We've moved some third-party plugins over to the organization in the past where we thought they would fit in our official offering. Could you link your plugin and explain why you think it should be an official one?

Thanks for the quick replies!

My plugin is https://github.com/jonjonsson/Jellyfin.Plugin.ACdb

I originally made the Emby MDBList Collection Creator python script which people seemed to like. Unless you are kinda tech savvy playing with a script is not a great experience. I created a dedicated website and plugin and tried to make it as user friendly as possible. Part of that is making it easy to download. 

I don't know if it matters but I am monetizing (most are just using the free tier).

Thanks for considering!

The plugin wouldn't fit our official offer for various reasons but you could definitely open a pull request to our documentation to list it there.

Ok, thanks for that. Will look into that.
