Cool implementation. Never occurred to me Jellyfin could serve as a streaming platform on its own! I’ll probably find the answer after sending this reply (may be helpful to others), but does it come with this functionality out of the box, or is any plug-in needed?
replyHow probable is it that this kind of method can be patched or obfuscated further? I assume that since the HLS stream is always at the core, it’s a matter of just finding alternative ways to dig through it.
Any quirks this implementation has wrt. things like quality or additional delay? Thanks! I’d like to try out if your methods could be used to make some sort of snippet that could be sent to VLC that’s running on a TV or streaming device.
Adjacent, but back when Plex supported plugins all your plugin had to do was eventually give it a link to a video / stream and bam, you could watch the content on any device. I built a fairly popular plugin around the idea of deduplicating tv / movie listings and letting people watch now or direct download.
replyI'm curious if there is a particular technical reason you chose to make this as a separate script rather than some kind of Jellyfin plugin? I actually appreciate that you did it in this fashion (more useful for me personally), just curious if there were limitations within the Jellyfin/dotNet system.
replyEither way, gonna make my World Cup viewing experience this year a lot easier haha
