What This Skill Does
Controls Jellyfin media server and connected smart TVs from the command line. Handles content search, smart episode resume, session management, and TV power across three backends: Home Assistant, direct LG webOS, or Android TV via ADB.
Combines TV wake, app launch, content lookup, and playback into a single command instead of requiring manual steps across a remote, TV UI, and Jellyfin web interface.
When to use it
- Playing the next unplayed episode of a series on your TV with one command
- Resuming a movie from the exact position where you stopped
- Turning on a smart TV and launching Jellyfin automatically before playback
- Adjusting volume or skipping to the next episode without touching a remote
- Viewing Jellyfin library stats or triggering a library scan
