Hello all,
Moving from Plex to Jellyfin and I need a plugin to block my kids from accessing the dashboard and other settings on the TV.
I know the best way is to have a non-admin account setup but while I still working on moving things around I need a quick way to block the settings.
https://github.com/LGSilva/jellyfin-pin-plugin
Features
✅ Per-admin PINs - Each administrator has their own 4-digit PIN
✅ 4-digit PIN authentication for dashboard access
✅ Configurable PIN through admin settings (self-service)
✅ Customizable failed attempt limits and lockout duration
✅ Session-based verification (1-hour timeout)
✅ Session locking - Lock your session to require PIN again immediately
✅ Secure rate limiting and account lockout protection per admin
✅ Works alongside existing Jellyfin authentication
✅ Admin-only requirement
✅ Independent admin sessions and rate limiting
I have no experience creating Jellyfin plugins so this was made using Claude AI. I will leave this here in case someone needs something like this.
