What version of Jellyfin is shipped by this installer?

[tobiasdiez]

I experience some issues (playback is sometimes not working, and no cover images are loaded) and wanted to have a look if I can fix those myself. But I cannot find out what version of Jellyfin is shipped and where one should send PRs. Should one directly modify the source files (under Template)?

Otherwise, https://github.com/Jellyfin2Samsung/Jellyfin-Orsay-App seems to be the most maintained/recent one. Thus also cc @TemaSM

@tobiasdiez hi sorry for the late response!

Yeah the template folder contains the Jellyfin, its a really old one because Orsay is just old.

https://github.com/Jellyfin2Samsung/Jellyfin-Orsay-App

Is indeed the best place to fork and make your changes, after which you can create a PR to update the files in the template folder in this repo

Hi @tobiasdiez,

Sorry for the late reply.

To add a bit more detail to PatrickSt1991’s answer:

The current setup is:

• the Samsung Orsay app itself lives in:
  https://github.com/Jellyfin2Samsung/Jellyfin-Orsay-App
• this installer repository uses that app as a submodule and packages it for installation on the TV

So if you want to work on playback problems, missing cover images, or other app behavior, the right place to send PRs is:

https://github.com/Jellyfin2Samsung/Jellyfin-Orsay-App

Then this installer repo only needs a follow-up update of the submodule pointer.

As for “which version is shipped”:
the most accurate answer is the exact pinned app revision, not just the legacy widget version string.

The installer currently points to:
e92d8f25e73440b5fd7aeaa5b22b387d5dc97c5f

The widget metadata in that pinned revision reports version:
2.2.9a

So in short:

• app code changes -> Jellyfin-Orsay-App
• installer / wizard / packaging changes -> this repository

If you want, feel free to open an issue or PR in Jellyfin-Orsay-App for the playback / image problems you found.

@TemaSM some guy mentioned this fork yesterday on Discord;
https://github.com/oherau/jellyfin-samsung-orsay-os

It seems to have some more support for remote controls?

Thanks for sharing this.

I had not seen that fork yet. I will check it when I have some free time.

If there are useful improvements there, especially around remote control support, we may bring some of them into our fork as well, with proper credit to @oherau for the original work.
