Requirements

The plugin requires a version of Jellyfin greater or equal to 10.7.0 (>=10.7.0) and an unstable version of Shoko Server greater or equal to 4.1.1 (>=4.1.1) to be installed. It also requires that you have already set up and are using Shoko Server, and that the directories/folders you intend to use in Jellyfin are fully indexed (and optionally managed) by Shoko Server, otherwise the plugin won’t be able to funciton properly — it won’t be able to find metadata about any entries that are not indexed by Shoko Server since the metadata we want is not available.

Install

There are multiple ways to install this plugin, but the recommended way is to use the official Jellyfin repository. Be sure to establish a connection between the plugin and your running instance of Shoko Server in the plugin settings before trying to use it on a library.

Setup

Before you start using the plugin it is important to connect the plugin to a running instance of Shoko Server. So head over to the plugin settings and provide the Host, Username and Password credentials and click the Connect button.

After you’ve established a connection to a running instance of Shoko Server then you’re free to either use the plugin as-is or to change any of the other settings to your liking.
