# Jellyfin-Media-Bar - Now with Play Now Function

## TODO - Design changes upcoming next release

Thanks to the Man, the Legend [BobHasNoSoul](https://github.com/BobHasNoSoul) for his work on the [jellyfinfeatured](https://github.com/BobHasNoSoul/jellyfin-featured) and [SethBacon](https://forum.jellyfin.org/u-sethbacon) and [TedHinklater](https://github.com/tedhinklater) for their take on the [Jellyfin-Featured-Content-Bar](https://github.com/tedhinklater/Jellyfin-Featured-Content-Bar). 

Here I present my version of the same with some code improvements, loading optimizations, and Security Enhancements. Works best with the [Zombie theme](https://github.com/MakD/zombie-release) (_Shameless Plug_), but it fits with every other theme the creators have put their hard work in. You might've to edit the color accents in the CSS to match yours.

# Prepping the Environment

<details>
  
<summary> Steps </summary>

1. Create a folder `avatars` in your `jellyfin-web` folder. (Usually in C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server)
2. Download the files `slideshowpure.js` and `slideshowpure.css`
3. Paste them inside the avatars folder created, and you are ready to venture down the rabbit hole.

</details>

# Prepping the files
<details>
  
<summary>index.html</summary>

  1. Navigate to your `jellyfin-web` folder and search for the file index.html. (you can use any code editor, just remember to open with administrator privileges.
  2. Search for `</body></html>`
  3. Just before the `</body`, plug the below code
```
<script>
  (function () {
    // List of CSS selectors for Home buttons
    const buttonSelectors = [
      ".headerHomeButton.barsMenuButton",
      ".css-17c09up",
      ".mainDrawer-scrollContainer > a:nth-child(2)"
    ];

    // Polling interval to check for buttons
    const intervalId = setInterval(function () {
      buttonSelectors.forEach(selector => {
        // Try to find the button
        const homeButton = document.querySelector(selector);

        // If the button is found
        if (homeButton) {
          // Attach the click event listener if not already added
          if (!homeButton.hasAttribute("data-home-handler")) {
            homeButton.addEventListener("click", function (event) {
              event.preventDefault(); // Prevent default behavior if necessary
              window.location.href = "/web/index.html#/home.html";
            });

            // Mark the button as handled
            homeButton.setAttribute("data-home-handler", "true");
          }
        }
      });

      // Stop polling if all buttons are found
      if (buttonSelectors.every(selector => document.querySelector(selector))) {
        clearInterval(intervalId);
      }
    }, 100); // Check every 100ms
  })();
</script>
    <link rel="preload" href="/web/avatars/slideshowpure.css" as="style" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/web/avatars/slideshowpure.css" />
    <script defer src="/web/avatars/slideshowpure.js"></script>
```
</details>

<details>

<summary>home-html.xxxxxx.chunk.js</summary>

1. Similarly, search for `home-html` in the `jellyfin-web` directory. You should be able to see a file named `home-html.xxxxxx.chunk.js` with random numbers in place of the `xxxx`. Open it with any code editor with administrator privileges.
2. Search for `id="homeTab" data-index="0">`
3. Right after the `>`, paste the code block `<div id="slides-container"></div><script>slidesInit()</script>`

</details>

<details>

<summary>main.jellyfin.bundle.js</summary>

1. Similarly, search for `main.jellyfin.bundle.js` in the `jellyfin-web` directory. Open it with any code editor with administrator privileges.
2. Search for `this.playbackManager = e,`
3. Right after the `,`, paste the code block `window.PlaybackManager = this.playbackManager;console.log("PlaybackManager is now globally available:", window.PlaybackManager);`

</details>

And that is it. Hard refresh your web page (CTRL+Shift+R) twice, and Profit!

# Want a Custom List to be showcased instead of random items??

No worries this got you covered. 

## Steps

1. Create a `list.txt` file inside your `avatars` folder.
2. In line 1 give your list a name.
3. Starting line 2, paste the item IDs you want to be showcased, one ID per line. For Example :

```
Awesome Playlist Name
ItemID1
ItemID2
ItemID3
ItemID4
ItemID5
```
The next time it loads, it will display these items.
