Replaces the plugin template with a working plugin that lets several
users share one viewing account while keeping their individual watched
lists accurate.
Three pieces:
- Auto-creating groups. Logging in as "alice+bob" with any named
member's own password provisions the shared account and signs you in.
Verified against 10.11.5: AuthenticateUser offers unmatched usernames
to every enabled provider and re-queries afterwards, which is the hook
this relies on. Gated on a real member password so knowing two
usernames is not enough to create an account.
- Multi-password authentication. IRequiresResolvedUser hands us the
resolved shared account; each member's live stored hash is checked via
ICryptoProvider.Verify. Deliberately avoids re-entering
UserManager.AuthenticateUser, which would trip every member's
failed-attempt counter whenever a different member's password matched.
- One-way played-state sync. Shared account to members only, filtered to
PlaybackFinished/TogglePlayed/Import so playback progress ticks are
ignored. No loop guard needed: member writes carry a non-shared id.
Membership is stored as user IDs rather than re-parsed from the username,
so shared accounts can be renamed freely. The +/name collision resolves
itself because Jellyfin only consults the plugin when no local user
matches the typed name.
Targets Jellyfin 10.11.x / net9.0. Adds Gitea CI (test, build, release),
a builder image, and 34 tests covering the auth and sync rules.
The markdown codeblocks in the README were using `json`, which has no support for comments, making them highlighted in red. `jsonc` does have support, correctly rendering the codeblocks.
The ${env:XDG_DATA_HOME} variable is not used, as this variable resolves
to the current working directory within Visual Studio Code's development
container. By manually specifying the file path, it is possible to use
Visual Studio Code's development container.
The "mkdir" command uses the "-p" flag. This flag creates the parent
directories, as well. Should they already exists, the command moves
down to the next folder to create without throwing an error.
The "-r" parameter of the "cp" is required to recursively copy all
files and directories within the "publish" directory.
This commit describes how to setup an automation for Visual Studio Code.
The automation aims to build the plugin and then start the server and
optionally the web-client. This way, only one IDE project has to be
opened which starts all necessary dependencies.
