Hey Jellyfin community!
I've finished up a beta build of my Jellyfin companion app and wanted to share in the hopes that others will enjoy it as much as my users and I.
JellyFresh is meant to scan and locate movies and/or shows that have recently released/aired so that they can be consistently displayed in their own library. This makes it quick and easy to find newly released media without it getting buried in your library.

This is not a plugin nor a new Jellyfin build (I don't know C#
). It offers a simple web UI that allows you to run scans manually or on a schedule so it will always keep your "Spotlight" libraries (that's what I'm calling them) updated with the latest media within your set time frame.
I am aware that you can sort movies by release date, you can't however display shows that have recently aired, nor seasons recently released; and let's be honest, most users just want the content in front of them, not re-sort their displays! JellyFresh fixes both of these issues. TV Shows specifically find a recently released episode (again, based on your time frame) and will link the entire new season into your new spotlight folder.
Go ahead and take a look here if it sounds interesting! I'll keep talking below (this has gone on long enough already
):
https://github.com/ClairDeCoder/JellyFresh/tree/main
Requirements:
- Docker capable computer or Ubuntu/Debian host
- JellyFresh must be able to see your Media folders and the Jellyfin configuration file at /var/lib/jellyfin/root/default
- You must create your own new library within Jellyfin, and add the Spotlight folder where your newly released media is being sent
- Currently, your metadata must be saved as NFO files for your media libraries being scanned
- The Spotlight folder must exist before running a scan, or it will not run
- **WARNING** Please do not use your current media folders (/movies or /shows) as your Spotlight library, your data will be DELETED!! Create a new folder for each Spotlight library you want.
Thanks for reading my long winded post, if you have questions leave a comment!
