Jellyfin Filter Search Plugin

A Jellyfin plugin that adds search functionality to filter dialogs and displays enabled filters at the top.

---

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Required Setup After Installation

This plugin needs write access to index.html to inject JavaScript into the Jellyfin web interface.

After installing the plugin, you must run one of the following commands depending on your setup:

🐧 Linux (Native Installation)

sudo chown jellyfin:jellyfin /usr/share/jellyfin/web/index.html
sudo systemctl restart jellyfin

🐳 Docker

Option A: Install the File Transformation Plugin (recommended)

Option B: Map index.html as a volume:

# Copy index.html from container
docker cp jellyfin:/usr/share/jellyfin/web/index.html /path/to/config/index.html

# Add to your docker-compose.yml volumes:
- /path/to/config/index.html:/usr/share/jellyfin/web/index.html

🪟 Windows

The plugin should work without additional setup on Windows.

Note: The chown command may need to be re-run after Jellyfin updates, as the update process may reset file ownership.
