Bug 921093 – media-video/jellyfin-media-player doesn't requires media-video/jellyfin-web-bin

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

media-video/jellyfin-media-player doesn't requires media-video/jellyfin-web-bin
This is the case because according to the docs, I can use instead my self hosted  www-apps/jellyfin

hmm, could you link to the docs?  I think jellyfin-web-bin provides the code that connects to Jellyfin instances, and that it is always used, no matter what instance.

I might be mistaken, of course, so a link would be appreciated.

TIA!

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player
What is written in the docs is pretty clear to me:

    Web client: https://repo.jellyfin.org/releases/server/portable/versions/stable/web/
        Note: If you do not provide the web client, the application will use a fallback UI where the user must select a server which has a web client.

So basically I can use my own www-apps/jellyfin as the web client instead of the web client binaries from that URL.

that'd appear to indeed be the case - thank you for the report.

I'll think about the best way to handle this and push a fix

happy new year!  :)
