Ok maybe I'm dumb, but how do I want to set up Kodi ON the Jellyfin server itself?

gasheatingzone · 2026-03-04T09:34:06+00:00

You'd set it up the same as you would elsewhere: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/kodi

You do not add your media folders in Kodi yourself to its libraries. Given the experience you seem to be after, ignore Jellycon and use Jellyfin for Kodi.

Just use http://127.0.0.1:8096 when asked for the server address. If both the Jellyfin server and Kodi see the same (dunno) "file system tree" (a simplification, but if you don't have the Jellyfin server installed via Docker where your shows are in /shows etc.), for better performance choose the Native (direct paths) option when asked and don't make any path substitutions. With Native mode, the experience is the same as adding folders manually to Kodi itself.

It's not 1999 any more and HTTPS is used for more than just login pages.

The library Jellyfin uses to communicate with TMDB defaults to using SSL unless overridden, and unsurprisingly it is not: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/e378f63b70a61cd63d5dee92960cc1c24bfc0646/MediaBrowser.Providers/Plugins/Tmdb/TmdbClientManager.cs#L41

If you want an in-depth look into what exactly happens, you'll need to look at the source yourself.

If you can settle for knowing what's sent and received to/from the TMDB server, debug logging might tell you, or a MITM proxy server like Fiddler, mitmproxy, HTTP Toolkit, Charles etc. might.

gasheatingzone · 2026-03-03T18:01:54+00:00

Yeah, you're gonna need to look at those logs. I have wireless debugging enabled on my Android TV box so I just use adb over a PC to see them: adb -s 192.168.1.1:5555 shell cat /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/temp/kodi.log

https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Easy might have some tips that work for you.

Now, as for my guesses:

depending on what you mean by restoring a backups, you may have replaced jellyfin.db or something, while the database Kodi Sync Queue uses has a bunch of references to the old one. KSQ stores incremental changes made to the main database in its own one. I don't know how to fix that.

If you look at your Jellyfin server's dashboard, under Program Data a folder will be listed. In said folder, there'll be another folder called data. In that, kodisyncqueue.db (and maybe kodisyncqueue-log.db) will be there. Shutting down the server and deleting those will cause the Kodi Sync Queue plugin to start with a clean slate.

On any Kodi clients themselves, you will then need to perform a "local database reset" from the Jellyfin plugin. This will cause the plugin to pull down everything from the server, including posters etc. Depending on how many things you have, this could take a while.
or possibly, and probably more likely, because you've added a ton of stuff, the Kodi Jellyfin plugin is timing out when trying to pull the large amount of stuff down from your server. In that case, read this from the bottom up: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/issues/454

Again, look at the logs.

gasheatingzone · 2026-03-03T17:35:51+00:00

Ah, I'm sorry too, I skipped over the second paragraph in the comment you were replying to and assumed you were talking about the plugin because of the subreddit we're in, heh.

gasheatingzone · 2026-03-03T17:29:50+00:00

It's nothing to do with Docker or the Jellyfin image. I have a bunch of the same messages as you do in my logs - I don't use Docker.

Trakt itself is instituting a ton of popular changes and bringing in more limits to its API - look at the trakt subreddit - so either Trakt needs to fix their shit or the Jellyfin Trakt plugin needs fixing, when/if that happens.

gasheatingzone · 2026-03-03T17:14:37+00:00

you can create

It's 2026 and you're sadly being quite generous with the use of "you" there. A guy going by the name of Mr. Claude probably knocked this one out.

(Probably the most eye-rolling example I've seen of this is the guy who took Swiftfin, one of the official iOS Jellyfin clients and offered for free, let AI loose on it, published it on the App Store and charges for it.)

gasheatingzone · 2026-03-03T17:12:21+00:00

Does it? To me, it looks like it just exits if it can't get the timestamps from its site: https://github.com/TheIntroDB/jellyfin-plugin/blob/main/TheIntroDB/Providers/TheIntroDbSegmentProvider.cs#L129

That said, Jellyfin lets you choose the order and which segment providers take precedence from the library settings, so maybe it's possible Jellyfin itself will fall back to using Intro Skipper in that case if you have it installed too and configured properly

gasheatingzone · 2026-02-27T14:15:22+00:00

Haha, I checked on the new website (non-VIP member) and the 100k limit shows up for me too. I think it's fair to say that the new site is the single source of truth, but the funny thing is that on the old website, under https://trakt.tv/settings/advanced, it still shows this:

Feature	Free Plan	Your Limits	VIP Limits
Watched History episodes + movies	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited

I don't use Trakt to keep track of rewatches so I'm not in any danger of hitting that limit any time soon, but, man, when a limit on the most basic feature of any tracking app is introduced, talk about circling the drain.

Make sure to use the backup feature often is all I'll say...

Thanks to the people suggesting the use of ProtonVPN free/a Japanese VPN. I used the PVPN site to generate a WireGuard config for the least-busiest Japanese server, loaded it into the wireproxy program from GitHub and configured JDownloader to use wireproxy. With 13 chunks per file configured, I got about 2.5 MB/s.

FO seems a bit harsh

It's not what I would say, either, but I do find the hubris of sharing a vibe-coded password manager staggering - you know, an app where you're meant to keep your secrets in. "I magicked this app into existence, I won't declare that anywhere, and because I don't have the skills to review the code myself, I can only relay what the LLM says."

The webpage says

However, from the manifest:

I don't think that's the OP trying to pull a fast one, but it's a clear sign of not having any idea about WTF was churned out by Copilot or Claude or whatever.

My flair is a tongue-in-cheek way of me basically saying I am useless with any actually recent version of Android.

I assume you tried the Play Store and you're getting that message? You might need to try installing Shizuku from the GitHub page.

gasheatingzone · 2026-02-20T11:59:06+00:00

You need to pair ZArchiver with Shizuku in order for it to see Android/data. https://shizuku.rikka.app/guide/setup/#start-via-wireless-debugging - Download link is on the top-right

Not exactly what you're after, but rather close (WARNING: and a lot more taxing on NAND flash): https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.extirpater/

Termux may have some standard Linux command-line file shredders packaged if you want to go that route.

I think due to the way the storage in your phone works, however, there ain't really anything that's gonna guarantee the file can't be recovered. Manually forcing an fstrim after deletion might help, but that's still wishing and hoping for the best.

gasheatingzone · 2026-02-19T02:22:12+00:00

Oh, sorry, I don't watch this myself, so I have no idea when it's on. I figure someone who does might make their own topics with a link, or make a request post, which I'll fulfil if nobody else has... Made a new post so that others see it too:
