Hi! it's necessary to do the github repository steps? Because Media bar plugin shows as malfunctioned

You installed both the file transformation and media bar plugin right?

No luck so far trying on 2 fresh Jellyfin installs via Docker in TrueNAS Scale, installed both File Transformation & Media Bar plugins as instructed. After restarting the server one or both plugins show as malfunctioned for status, and when they do both show as active (after restarting the server again) the Media Bar doesn't show even after hard refreshing the web page twice.

@Kilo11 it can take a while with the installable method for it to come through and start working, and the File Transformation plugin can be a bit finicky to get going, basically once you've got both active give your server a proper restart (by turning it off and on, not using the restart button) and give it some time to clear your disk cache.

Yeah, now I'm at the point that even after doing 2 more fresh Jellyfin installs, File Transformation plugin will show active but Media Bar will always show malfunctioned, I have also doing full server reboots.

I've reworked all of my plugins today and have something that should be considerably more stable. Look out for v2.0.0 of them later tonight
