Plugin Jelly Bulletin

[skijk]

JellyBulletin is a new public-beta plugin for Jellyfin Web that lets server administrators publish announcements directly on the home screen.

It currently supports:

- Bold, italic, underline and colored text
- Clickable HTTP and HTTPS links
- Bullet and numbered lists
- Uploaded, pasted, dropped or externally hosted images
- Three to five announcements in a carousel
- Automatic rotation, manual navigation and pause
- Pinned announcements
- Scheduled publishing and unpublishing
- Theme-aware presentation
- A live layout preview in the administration page



Requirements

- Jellyfin Server 10.11.11 (not tested on earlier versions)
- Jellyfin Web or another web-based client
- File Transformation plugin

Native clients that do not render Jellyfin Web are not currently supported.
All published announcements are visible to every authenticated user.

This is a public beta. Feedback and reproducible bug reports are very welcome.
Please include the Jellyfin version, browser/client, JellyBulletin version,
File Transformation version and relevant Jellyfin logs.


**AI disclosure:** JellyBulletin was developed with extensive assistance from OpenAI Codex. I directed the product design, requirements and testing, while
Codex assisted with implementation, review, packaging and documentation.
The plugin has been tested on my own Jellyfin server, and the use of AI assistance is also documented in the project README.

JellyBulletin 0.3.21 is now available

This release adds more control over how much space announcements occupy on the Jellyfin home screen.

What’s new

• Adaptive panel height
  The announcement panel can now automatically follow its content. Short messages appear as compact banners, while longer announcements expand when needed.

• Four panel-height modes
  Choose between Adaptive, Compact, Standard, and Tall in the Bulletin settings.

• Per-announcement title styles
  Each announcement can use one of three title layouts:- Prominent – the original large title with the date underneath- Compact – a smaller title with the date on the same line- Hidden on home screen – hides the visible title and date for minimal announcements

• Improved live preview
  The administration preview updates as you change the panel height or title style, making it easier to judge the final layout before saving.

Existing installations keep their current appearance: Standard panel height and Prominent titles remain the defaults until changed.

JellyBulletin 0.3.21 is available through the regular stable plugin repository. Refresh the catalog, install the update, and restart Jellyfin.
