[Guide] Jellyfin with Potplayer

[Damocles_]

Hi, let me know if something is broken. 

This tutorial explains how to set up Jellyfin Server on Windows to:

- Launch medias from the Jellyfin web interface directly in PotPlayer. Steps 1 to 6 required.

- Optional : One click link to the corresponding media local folder from the Jellyfin media information panel.

- Optional : Jellyfin Service Automation, Start and stop the Jellyfin server automatically at launching the web interface and closing it.

- Bonus : Select text and one click search selection on IMDB, YOUTUBE, or any websites


Someone made that recently https://github.com/johnpc/jellyfin-plugi...javascript
Jellyfin server add-on for having the javascript integrated in the server, with that the two .js script won't require a browser extension like ViolentMonkey
But it affects the web jellyfin page on every browser and localpath still need a Firefox extension, so I'm not sure if it may cause more issue on other device/browsers...


Update :
- Readme with optional features and clearer instructions
- Easier installation, no need to edit scripts during the installation, it should work with any local drives and library
- Fixed : Local files links actually work
- Fixed : multiple windows opening

Update 2 : Jellyfin Service Automation, Start and stop. Cleaner solution, no console popup window, multi browser auto-install, possibility for custom .bat at launch, notification etc..

You're welcome even if you're a bot!
For the custom Jellyfin service server launcher, I made a cleaner solution, with auto install, multi browser auto-install, possibility for custom .bat at launch, no console popup window, notification etc.. But I haven't test it on another computer yet. You can try if you want it's there attached to this post. I may do an auto-install for Potplayer support too but idk I'm pretty sure antivirus won't like that, because it need to install firefox/chrome adds-ons and a scripts into it...
