Multi-Server/Jellyfin questions

[RedRubble]

Hi all,
Got a question about adding Jellyfin to this with Plex already setup. The Multi-server guide talks about a webhook which it includes in the header image under Servers, but it appears this has been moved in the UI? Any help/clarification on this?

Secondly, is it possible to have Trickplay not alongside media? Like the idea of keeping my data clean rather than having a bunch of these files written on disk, prefer to have to it written to the cache drive like Plex, but not sure? I see this is a setting in Jellyfin, so it looks like it can be done? Whats the possibility of having the option to mount Jellyfin's data (like Plex) to this app to do this?

And finally if I have all my media generated for Plex, is there a way to convert these Bifs to Jellyfin so it doesn't have to regenerate? However, I'm noticing that its very likely that my library has different intervals for different pieces of media, which I think Plex stores but Jellyfin wouldn't, so it might not be compatible?

Added Jellyfin but leaving disabled for now :)

Cheers!

Hi,

1. Where did the webhook go? It moved to the new Automation tab at the top (between Servers and Settings) — the webhook URL is under Webhooks there. For Plex, it's now under Servers → edit your Plex server → Webhook & Scanner. (The guide's screenshot was out of date — fixing it.)

2. Can trickplay live off the media drive (like Plex)? Jellyfin itself can — that's the SaveTrickplayWithMedia setting you found. Off = it keeps thumbnails in its own data folder instead of next to your videos. The limitation is on our side: right now this tool only writes them next to the video, so you'd need to leave that Jellyfin setting on. Writing into Jellyfin's data folder is a feature I'd like to add — I'm scoping it now. See here feat: Jellyfin trickplay off the media drive (data-folder support) #265 - not sure when i'll get time to implement it, prob a week or two.

3. Reuse my existing Plex thumbnails for Jellyfin? Yes — when a file is processed with both servers in scope, the tool reuses the frames from Plex's existing preview to build Jellyfin's tiles instead of re-decoding the video. No fresh FFmpeg pass, and it works on libraries you finished long ago (as long as the source file hasn't changed). So you won't pay the GPU cost again for files Plex already has previews for.
