Jellyfin	Instructions on how to integrate the Jellyfin integration into Home Assistant.	Media player Media source Remote Sensor	2021.12	Local Polling	@RunC0deRun @ctalkington	true	jellyfin	diagnostics media_player remote sensor	service

The Jellyfin integration exposes a Jellyfin server as a media source in Home Assistant. Support is currently limited to music, movie and TV show libraries only. Other libraries will not appear in the media browser. This integration has been tested with Jellyfin server version 10.6.4 and later.

Additionally, this integration sets up every media session connected to the Jellyfin server as a media player in Home Assistant to provide media controls for each session.

Browsing media inside Home Assistant in a player's context provides all libraries of type Movie and Series.

This integration also creates a Remote entity for sending remote commands to the client, if supported. For example, this can be used to tell the client to navigate right twice, down once, and select the focused item:

jellyfin_remote_script:
  alias: "Jellyfin Remote Script"
  sequence:
    - action: remote.send_command
      target:
        entity_id: remote.jellyfin_client
      data:
        delay_secs: 1.5
        command:
          - MoveRight
          - MoveRight
          - MoveDown
          - Select
