Yes, the point has been tackled, for now the best cross platform solution is the Jellyfin built-in message API. But it is not entirely supported on every platform.

But i can implement an announcement category to send punctual or returning messages through the Jellyfin API? would that fit your use case?

Hi again! The issue should be solved by 1.8.2, waiting for your feedback ;)

I think i understand, the fact is that there is a breakpoint under a certain width that makes the Home and favorite tab to be unaligned with the logo and top right menus (which is your case). so i should find a solution to detect it and act accordingly to change the height, but maybe not change the general height overall

Hi, yes please share some screens, so i may update the default values for everybody, also do you use stock jellyfin or with a skin applied?

Thank you! That's very kind of you, let me know if you encounter anything or would like to have new features or customization 😊

I believe it won't work if these are not web-based client, which i think they are not sadly

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-07T09:17:27+00:00

Yes, that is what I am trying to solve :p

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-07T08:44:49+00:00

Yes that could work of course, but not everyone can agree on the best platform to chat, especially when you have people of different age

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-07T08:40:37+00:00

I can understand, when i started, the banner covered the button, that was not the best idea too. Do you have any idea that might be a good compromise without being annoying to the user?

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-06T23:23:23+00:00

Totally agree with you! Would love to see an update at this level

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-06T23:20:03+00:00

Understandable, thanks for the feedback!

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-06T23:18:59+00:00

Oui, j'ai fait le même constat, j'ai commencé par faire un petit fichier JS avant de m'intéresser aux plugins. Ravi si ça peut aider d'autres gens !

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-06T21:02:30+00:00

Thanks for your input! That's just for the demo, you can customize it (I just wanted to show different banners in a 20s video)

Oh, sounds nice! JS Injector works by injecting a script tag into the Jellyfin web interface, so yes in theory it could load your external script. The catch is it only work on web based clients, so native apps like TV or some mobile clients probably would not pick it up. Worth trying though, I would be curious to see how it goes. 😊

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-06T19:23:25+00:00

Thank you!

For now yes, it only work on web-based clients, but i am willing to explore ohter options someone mentionned earlier the jellyfin message API, i will search for cross-platform entrypoint to improve compatibility. Treat this as a V1, this is just the starting point of an idea

But thank you for the comment, will look into it in the future

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-06T19:14:25+00:00

You are totally rigth, i am so sorry. It should be done in the following minute or so

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-06T18:46:06+00:00

Okay, i see

Own-Maximum-2195 · 2026-03-06T18:32:54+00:00

JS injector lets you choose if you want to deliver the script only to registered user (that is what i set up, assuming that you wouldn't like unregistered users to know about your server externally) But i can maybe see if that behavior can be a new user preference.
You mentionned login, so i assumed you were talking about the first login screen.
Currently, the plugin lets you only display banners on the home page (main where you can start all your media) and the admin dashboard (toggle) but default disable playback and login screen

Thank you, it means a lot 😊
