a Jellyfin TV Client, optimized for Zidoo media players aka "Zidoo Edition"

based on the official Jellyfin TV Client

---

Update: Development of this fork has stopped!

I moved to CoreElec + Amlogic + Jellyfin for Kodi plugin

• main issue is time to merge all the upstream changes and motivation to work on the fork while not using Zidoo devices anymore
• there are issues/bug's that also will probably never fixed by Zidoo via there API
  • seeking for transcodes (multisegmented http stream issue)
  • proper enabled subtitles on play (always need to seek-back at least once until ASS show-up)
• so far everything still works with JF 10.9.11
  • need to edit/add path data to \jellyfin\root\default\options.xml for new direct-path libs, since the Ui option was removed, yet direct-path still works

How to use with "Direct Path" option (smb/nfs):

• setup your Jellyfin server library's with network paths or path substitution via Shared network folder: option
  • Formats
    • smb://smb_user:smb_password@server_ip/share/folder
    • smb://smb_user@server_ip/share/folder
    • nfs://server_ip/nfs_export/:
    • nfs://server_ip/nfs_export/:/tv
      • nfs needs the /: special marker right after the actual nfs export name/path portion!
  • Examples:
    • smb://andy:123456@192.168.1.101/htpc-share/series
    • smb://andy@192.168.1.101/htpc-share/series
    • nfs://192.168.1.101/mnt/media/movies/: -> with nfs export /mnt/media/movies
    • nfs://192.168.1.101/mnt/media/:/movies -> with nfs export /mnt/media
• enable the Direct Path option in the JellyfinTv client

NOTE: starting with firmware 6.(4/7).30+ you dont need the special /: NFS root-marker anymore!
