Segment Editor (Jellyfin Plugin)

Segment editing UI embedded into Jellyfin as a plugin page.

This repository packages the Segment Editor web app (built from intro-skipper/segment-editor) as a Jellyfin server plugin.

Installation

Manifest URL (Recommended)

Add the Intro Skipper repository to Jellyfin, then install "Segment Editor" from the Catalog.

https://intro-skipper.org/manifest.json

Note

This URL returns a manifest based on the Jellyfin version used to access it. It will not return a manifest when viewed in a browser (no Jellyfin version is provided).

Alternative installation methods

Install from a GitHub release

1. Download the latest release zip.
2. Extract SegmentEditorPlugin.dll.
3. Copy it into your Jellyfin plugins directory:
   • Windows: %LocalAppData%\jellyfin\plugins\SegmentEditorPlugin\SegmentEditorPlugin.dll
   • Linux: ~/.local/share/jellyfin/plugins/SegmentEditorPlugin/SegmentEditorPlugin.dll
   • Docker: mount into the container's /config/plugins/SegmentEditorPlugin/
4. Restart Jellyfin.

Build and install locally

dotnet restore SegmentEditorPlugin.sln
dotnet build SegmentEditorPlugin.sln -c Release

Then copy SegmentEditorPlugin/bin/Release/net9.0/SegmentEditorPlugin.dll to your Jellyfin plugins directory and restart Jellyfin.

Usage

• Open the Jellyfin web UI and navigate to "Segment Editor" from the main menu.
• You can also reach it from the Dashboard plugin page (Dashboard -> Plugins).
• Direct URL: http://myserver:8096/SegmentEditor

What you get

• A new main menu entry: "Segment Editor"
• A plugin page that hosts the Segment Editor web UI
• Embedded static assets served by the Jellyfin server at /SegmentEditor/* (no separate web hosting)

Requirements

• Jellyfin Server 10.11.5 or newer
• The Intro Skipper plugin installed
• Jellyfin Server compatible with the referenced Jellyfin packages (see SegmentEditorPlugin/SegmentEditorPlugin.csproj)
• For building from source:
  • .NET SDK 9.0 (see .github/workflows/build.yml)
  • Node.js (LTS) + pnpm 10 (only if rebuilding frontend assets)

Note

The plugin project currently targets net9.0 (see SegmentEditorPlugin/SegmentEditorPlugin.csproj). Your Jellyfin server must be able to load net9.0 plugins.

Development

Update/sync frontend assets

The plugin embeds static files from SegmentEditorPlugin/dist/ as assembly resources. Those assets are typically produced by the upstream Segment Editor web app.

The CI workflow does the following (see .github/workflows/build.yml):

rm -rf ./SegmentEditorPlugin/dist/assets
mkdir -p ./SegmentEditorPlugin/dist/assets
cp ./segment-editor/dist-plugin/index.html ./SegmentEditorPlugin/dist/index.html
cp ./segment-editor/dist-plugin/favicon.png ./SegmentEditorPlugin/dist/favicon.png
cp -R ./segment-editor/dist-plugin/assets/. ./SegmentEditorPlugin/dist/assets/

Debug in VS Code

This repo includes a VS Code launch/task setup that will publish the plugin and copy it into your Jellyfin data directory.

• Configure paths in .vscode/settings.json
• Run the Launch debug configuration (uses .vscode/tasks.json + .vscode/launch.json)

Releases

• build.yml builds the plugin and uploads the compiled DLL as a workflow artifact.
• release.yml can auto-bump Directory.Build.props, rebuild assets from upstream, and publish a GitHub Release zip.
