BillOatman 500 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Hi. I ran into a jellyfin plugin with source that tries to get tv series and movie theme music automatically. Here it is for those interested. That's the good news. The interesting and potentially bad news is since there is no good place to get TV themes, Plex hosts them with a web service to allow for download (presumably for Plex servers). This Jellyfin plugin uses that plex service for TV themes. Judges ruling before I spend any time porting it ... is this allowed [in a catalog plugin]?

Solution Luke 37057 Posted May 11, 2021 Solution Share Posted May 11, 2021 Hi, so do they come from a plex domain? If so then I think it's inevitable that once they find out, they will ask other software using it to remove it from their plugin repositories. But posting it here in the community would be fine.

The plugin is MIT licensed, but whats the Plex license in relation to TVthemes access? Is this provided a premium only service, or something they knowing provide to the community? From Plex's TOS, are the tvthemes provided through the plex app only, or are they scraped from elsewhere? It looks like this is a no-no to me based on the following,. Quote 1.4.

All I know is people can add theme files to the plex collection. Premium or not to use them I do not know. I agree that TOS says "don't do that". That's why I asked ... thanks all I wonder what the current Emby commercial plugin uses to get it's TV themes. Hopefully not Plex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
