# JRay truth file format
JRay reads "truth" files produced offline by the
[scene-actor-extraction](https://github.com/dtourolle/scene-actor-extraction)
pipeline (`result_sink_node`, `Verbosity::minimal`, `schema_version: 1`).
## File location
For a media file `Movie.mkv`, the pipeline writes a sibling file
`Movie.jray.json` (suffix configurable in the plugin settings, default
`.jray.json`). The plugin resolves this path from the Jellyfin item's media
source path by stripping the extension and appending the suffix.
## JSON schema (schema_version 1, minimal verbosity)
```json
{
"schema_version": 1,
"movie": "/path/to/Movie.mkv",
"sample_fps": 1,
"anneal_sec": 2,
"actors": [
{
"name": "Tom Hanks",
"imdb_id": "nm0000158",
"tmdb_id": "31",
"jellyfin_id": "abc123-guid",
"scenes": [[12.0, 45.0], [102.5, 150.0]]
}
]
}
```
- `schema_version`: integer, bump on breaking changes. JRay should refuse (or
warn) on a version it doesn't understand.
- `movie`: absolute path to the source media file at extraction time (informational only).
- `sample_fps`: frames-per-second the pipeline sampled at.
- `anneal_sec`: gap (in seconds) below which consecutive detections of the
same actor were merged into a single scene window.
- `actors[]`: one entry per actor detected anywhere in the film.
- `name`: display name from the gallery.
- `imdb_id` / `tmdb_id` / `jellyfin_id`: identity keys, each `""` if not
resolved. JRay should prefer `jellyfin_id` (a Jellyfin Person item GUID)
when non-empty, and otherwise resolve `imdb_id`/`tmdb_id` against the
item's People `ProviderIds`.
- `scenes`: list of `[start_sec, end_sec]` windows (inclusive) during which
the actor is on screen.
## Querying "who's on screen at time t"
For a given timestamp `t` (seconds), an actor is visible if any of their
`scenes` windows satisfies `start <= t <= end`.
## API
### `GET /Plugins/JRay/Items/{itemId}/Timeline`
Returns the full truth file (schema above) for an item, or `404` if no truth
data exists (neither a managed upload nor a sidecar file).
### `GET /Plugins/JRay/Items/{itemId}/jray?t={seconds}`
Returns an extensible "context at time t" envelope, or `404` if no truth
data exists for the item:
```json
{
"actors": [
{ "name": "Tom Hanks", "imdb_id": "nm0000158", "tmdb_id": "31", "jellyfin_id": "abc123-guid" }
]
}
```
Future fields (e.g. `locations`, `trivia`) will be added to this object
without changing the route, so clients should ignore unknown keys.
### `PUT /Plugins/JRay/Items/{itemId}/Truth`
For servers that cannot run the extraction pipeline locally, a remote worker
may push truth data directly. Requires an administrator API key. Body is a
truth file (schema above). Returns `204` on success, or `400` if
`schema_version` is not `1`.
This "managed" truth data takes precedence over any sidecar
`Movie.jray.json` file for the same item, and is stored independently of the
media library filesystem.
### `DELETE /Plugins/JRay/Items/{itemId}/Truth`
Removes managed truth data for an item (idempotent, always returns `204`).
The item falls back to its sidecar truth file, if any, on subsequent reads.
Requires an administrator API key.
### `GET /Plugins/JRay/ClientScript`
Serves the pause-overlay script that JRay injects into the web client's
`index.html` (see below). Anonymous access.
## Web client pause overlay
Since Jellyfin has no plugin hook for player UI, JRay injects
`<script defer src="/Plugins/JRay/ClientScript"></script>` into the web
client's `index.html` on startup (idempotent, marked with
`<!-- jray-overlay -->`). The injected script listens for the video player's
pause event, calls `jray?t=` for the current item and timestamp, and renders
a small overlay listing on-screen actors. This can be disabled via the
plugin's "Enable pause overlay" setting, which also removes the injected
script.
