Jellyfin 10.9 next update.

[mvallevand]

I have sometime to look at the addon and fix quite a few things as noted below in a PR I have submitted.  If anyone want to test this let me know.  Otherwise you will test after it is released which might not be the best time.

Recording changes
I. General

• reload recordings and reset modification time when a settings change impacts recordings
  
• delete recording channel json cache to allow for changes outside of Jellyfin. JF only calls for new recordings when the database entries are not cached
  
• use episode mode without S/E for all non movie recordings, Jellyfin was using the subtitle as title and not displaying the title on clips.
  
• parse duplicated S/E information from the sub-title passed in the API.
  
• change cache key, add-on was using a key that changed often, leaving orphan JSON in the cache for every recording
  

II. Recording polling
In 10.9 Jellyfin was re-enabling disabled plugin causing user performance issues (not sure why though)

• don't poll for recording until connected
  
• reduce initial connection time to 5 seconds to avoid overlapping connection attempts
  
• allow configuration of polling interval, the more frequent the more responsive the addon is to changes outside Jellyfin
  
• catch connection errors in the plugin, don't throw errors to core.
  

III. In-progress recordings problems
a) In-progress recordings do not play when recordings are flagged as in-progress

• default in-progress to direct play.
  
• append growing flag to recordings to not send content-length.
  

b) No resume while in-progress

• don't know what to do to make this work.
  

c) Slow playback on initial in-progress recordings

• cannot change the analyzeduration so ffprobe waits for 200MB before playback
  
• if users give up, ffmpeg orphan ffmpeg tasks could be left running.
  
• don't know what to do to make this work.
  

IV.

• configure IPv4 so ffmpeg doesn't use IPv6 when a hostname is specified
  
• adapt to NextPVR unauthenticated access fix starting in 6.1.6
  
• allow unauthenticated recording streaming so clients can direct play. Jellyfin does not proxy client so security was failing and only transcoded play was available.

The PR was released so I guess it gets "tested" by everyone in production now in build 11. If there are questions or problems post them here.

Hi, sorry, I didn't notice the new version earlier. Everything works fine with my daily usage.

I asked sub a few years ago and he had no problem with users using his forum for questions related to the Jellyfin addon. Think of all the things sub does for his users the next time you make a donation.

However I have a problem with this not being a new thread since it is completely off topic. Feel free to make a new thread where we might continue this discussion and I might consider it.
