Mopidy extension for playing audio files from Jellyfin
Notes:
- Supports both "Music" and "Book" media types
- Tested using ncmpcpp, M.A.L.P., and various mopidy web frontends.
- When using ncmpcpp, it's recommended to set
mpd_connection_timeout = 30
, particularly if browsing folders that have a large number of items inside them - There is some inconsistency in M.A.L.P. where you may have to go to the menu and select 'Show All Tracks' for the library to populate properly
- When using ncmpcpp, it's recommended to set
- MPDroid on Android does not work properly
Install by running:
pip install Mopidy-Jellyfin
Mopidy-Jellyfin has officially moved to Python 3 with the release of Mopidy 3.0. All future updates will target this newer version.
Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for Mopidy-Jellyfin to your Mopidy configuration file:
[jellyfin] hostname = Jellyfin server hostname username = username password = password libraries = Library1, Library2 (Optional: will default to "Music" if left undefined) albumartistsort = False (Optional: will default to True if left undefined) album_format = {ProductionYear} - {Name} (Optional: will default to "{Name}" if left undefined)
libraries
determines what is populated into Mopidy's internal library (view by Artists/Album/etc). Using the file browser will show all libraries in the Jellyfin server that have a 'music' type.albumartistsort
changes whether the media library populates based on "Artist" or "Album Artist" metadataalbum_format
can be used to change the display format of music albums when using the file browser view. Currently the only really usable fields are ProductionYear and Name
Install mopidy to your host system, preferably using the native package manager. This handles all of the required dependencies.
Clone the repo to your local workstation
$ git clone [email protected]:jellyfin/mopidy-jellyfin.git && cd mopidy-jellyfin
Set up a virtualenv. We need to include system packages since some things don't behave well inside of a virtualenv (such as
PyGObject
or interacting with pulseaudio). Note that with the release of Mopidy 3.0 only Python 3.7 or newer is supported.$ python -m venv env --system-site-packages
Install mopidy-jellyfin to the virtualenv.
$ env/bin/python setup.py develop
Do your thing.
Mopidy can be launched from the virtualenv with
env/bin/mopidy
