Is there a way through HA to have a TV that I have jellyfin app on, for HA to tell that TV to play a random episode of a specific show? This is currently what I do with Plex but half the time Plex fails.
I am looking to move away from plex, but have some automation to shuffle TV shows on certain TVs.
Is this possible with this integration and jellyfin?

How does the upcoming media card part work? I have the option checked but I donāt have a sensor to point the upcoming media card at.
If you look at the Jellyfin integration in the Integrations page then you should see a sensor.jellyfin_jellyfin entity. If you point your card to that entity then it should work. For the most basic setup it would be
type: custom:upcoming-media-card
entity: sensor.jellyfin_jellyfin

Not to come to someones defense, but I honestly did not know about your integration, and Iām a Jellyfin fan boy (and what I think an active user here). I never ever would have looked into HACS for Jellyfin, as there was/is a native integration.
I know, I know, not very clever, but I really didnāt even think about. 
Btw. just stumbled into this thread and the first thing was to delete the native integration and tried yours - love it, even after only five minutes seems to be a lot more fun than the native one! Thanks for that! 
Amazing thanks, didnt think of looking there 
Might need to raise a feature request to get the poster or fanart to show rather than the episode thumbnail. Trakt for example uses the fanart
I just always assumed there was something wrong with my Jellyfin server lol
Iām trying to setup the integration but get a config window without text for some options.
The first one is selected and the other two are not initially but I can click them, what do these mean ?
How to proceed?
Screenshot;
Try changing the language in your user profile settings back and forth. Had that same problem, solved itslef after changing the language.
This is a screenshot, what should be there:
thanks for the screenshot, I now know at least what is there.
To my surprise when re-installing the integration in now popped up a correct window.
(I did try a couple of times earlier and purging the cache)
It doesnāt want to connect to my Jellyfin server but thatās a different story.
Tell me, and through jellybean, you can output video from the camera to LG TV as by analogy with PiPup?
Watch the video how Pipup works
Hi
sorry for probably a dumb questiom but I canāt get the integration configured. I have removed the Official jellyfin integration, restarted HA, then installed this integration through hacs and restarted HA again ! If I go into Integrations it offers me only one choice (how do I know itās the custom one and not the official one ?) and when I select it after a long time I time-outs stating the configuration flow could not be loaded and an unknown error 
Iām running latest official HA release.
Thanks
Can someone please, please point me in the right direction? I have checked āGenerate Upcoming card dataā; however the sensor only gives this after doing so:
data:
- title_default: $title
line1_default: $episode
line2_default: $release
line3_default: $rating - $runtime
line4_default: $number - $studio
icon: mdi:arrow-down-bold-circle
If I check " Generate YAMC card data", then I get the following which I assume is as it should be:
yamc:
last_search: ''
last_playlist: latest_movies

I cannot get the YAMC card generated; therefore, I cannot utilize the YAMC data above. However I can get the Upcoming-Media-Card working but as you see above, the upcoming data isnāt available. Iāve been struggling for hours to determine a solution. Iām not looking to be spoon fed, if you can just please point me in the right direction.
Iām sorry, I am facing a total noob problem. Any help would be appreciated!
I installed the Jellyfin integration using the regular ā+ ADD INTEGRATIONā button. It connected to my Jellyfin server (version 10.8.9, running in docker-compose on a different machine) and offers a sensor and a media_player as expected. So far, so good. However, clicking the ābrowse mediaā button in the media_player gives me an error āMedia Browser Error Unknown Errorā.
My log says:

Has anyone got media browsing working? I get Unknown error when accessed from the device info panel, and if I try via HA Media Browser, 100 % of my media are āincompatibleā and thus hidden.
I need to know if this is a known broken feature or something not working on my end. Given the state of media support in HA (laid to waste, barely working and never updated), I donāt want to waste too much time. Thanks.
And there is no way to bypass/allow this?
I have Jellyfin running on a pc and the media hosted on a NAS. Iām able to browse/play media via a chromecast, 3 nest minis, a roku streaming stick, and a google nest hub without issue. At least for me, the feature is not broken.
Anyone knows how to start a playlist from HA?
Did you ever figure this out?
