Still looking for a solution; Using plex in the meantime!
Plex is what Iām trying to move away from. Theyāve really ruined it over the last few years

I cant understand how so many people with Home Assistant use Jellyfin, but both integrations barely workā¦
Is there an other way that they use it? Because for me it seems like the Plex integration is waaaayyyy batter.
I have been using Jellyfin with HA for awhile and everything works. I even have NFC cards that my kids can tap to play specific movies or tv shows. Why do you say that the integrations barley work? Plex has become bloated with a ton of things that I do not need or want. Plex used to be what I used for years.
People donāt generally choose Jellyfin over Plex considering the quality of the HA integration 
I used to use Plex as well. I moved to local Jellyfin once I discovered all of the telemetry data going back to Plex. Jellyfin / HA is working great for me.

It seems to be a problem on your side, unfortunately. Please share the errors with us, so we can make the integration better.
I havenāt heard of any errors or issues with Jellyfin in the last months, but as the statistics show, the integration is used by a few people:
The Jellyfin service was introduced in Home Assistant 2021.12, and itās used by 2498 active installations. Its IoT class is Local Polling.
from integrations page
i installed it for my jellyfin install, but honestly iāve not understood what should be the advantage of having it (for sure my limit)
what are your use cases?
thanks!
just an example of something you could do with this integration, I have it notify me when someone starts playing something in the living room, because Iām nosey but also maybe I wanna watch too!

Hi All,
Iām a beginner with home assistant and Iām trying to understand what the jellyfin integration can do.
Both jellyfin and home assistant are deployed in docker. I managed to connect my jellyfin instance by using my reverse proxy adress and the different clients are detected as entities. I can see what is being watched and browse through my libraries.
However, from the home assistant dashboard, I am unable to pause what is playing or start a video. Do I misunderstand what is possible with the plugin ? are things just āread onlyā.
Thank you anyways to the developpers and maintainers !
