An extremely basic jellyfin client for running on SteamOS

I use jellyfin on steam OS, but I really, really don't like the client. It's completely mouse-oriented. For a basic thing like exiting jellyfin, you have to navigate to the user in the top right then find exit. What I want is a tv mode that acts like a tv mode: navigation with arrow keys, select and back only.

To simplify my needs a bit, I'm going to split my client into 3: one for movies, one for shows, and one for music. That means I can navigate between the item types as non-steam apps with the native steam browser, reducing the amount I have to do in the application itself.

Movies is the simplest one: I have (only) a couple of hundred movies, they all load in a single call to /Items in jellyfin, which makes it easy to display the posters. I used pygame and made them render

p5js halftone experiment.
image

Experiment in halftoning. This is all a bit shonky but from reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halftone I needed to convert RGB to CMYK, then for each colour, find the nearest grid point (each channel in CMYK is a grid at a different angle) and decide if the pixel lies in the dot. Then convert the values back to RGB.

Wikipedia supplies grid angles, but not dot sizes, so I just posterize each of the channels and pick a dot size in [0,1,2,3], with a grid size of 5.

an attempt to make movies display in the steam library

I have jellyfin on a steam machine using jellyfin-on-SteamOS but I don't like the media browser, and it feels off running it from Steam.

All of my movie files have NFO and images set up by tinyMediaManager. This script tries to use the NFO, movie file, and images to generate an entry in steam's shortcuts so the movie appears 'like a game'.

so far:

  • all the movies do appear in the library, with images
  • the command I've told it to run (using systemd-inhibit to stop the screen timing out while movies are playing, and flatpak mpv to play media files) does work on desktop
