How can I add plugin to Jellyfin?

  • Can somebody explain me how to add some plugin to the Jellyfin, please? When I open Dashboard > Plugins > Catalog, click on e.g. TMDb Box Sets plugin but I'm getting only spinnig circle and plugin doesn't install. Should I install plugins in some other way?

  • There's a good Jellyfin forum on Reddit.

    So mergerfs is necessary for installing plugins in Jellyfin

    No, if you are using mergerfs you can't point the config folder to the mergerfs mountpoint.


    TBH, I looked at this some time ago, AFAIK it's not just as simple as selecting a plugin and it installs, unless it's changed, there was a reddit post in relation to installing that plugin

  • So mergerfs is necessary for installing plugins in Jellyfin?

    mergerfs is the program OMV uses to implement Union File Systems. It is not needed to install plugins in Jellyfin.

  • You can install Jellyfin manually or use it with Docker.

    No need for plugin.

    You are confusing OMV plugins with Jellyfin plugins.
