Add the "Add repository to my Home Assistant" blue button to all
addon README files that were missing it. This makes it easier for
new HA users to add the repository with a single click.

Updated 59 addon READMEs:
- 51 with standard Installation section format
- 8 with non-standard or missing Installation sections

# Home assistant add-on: jellyfin
I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons
If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

## About
[jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/) organizes video, music, live TV, and photos from personal media libraries and streams them to smart TVs, streaming boxes and mobile devices. This container is packaged as a standalone jellyfin Media Server.
This addon is based on the [docker image](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-jellyfin) from linuxserver.io.
## Configuration
Webui can be found at `<your-ip>:8096` or through the sidebar using Ingress.
### Options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `PGID` | int | `0` | Group ID for file permissions |
| `PUID` | int | `0` | User ID for file permissions |
| `TZ` | str | | Timezone (e.g., `Europe/London`) |
| `data_location` | str | `/share/jellyfin` | Path where Jellyfin data is stored |
| `localdisks` | str | | Local drives to mount (e.g., `sda1,sdb1,MYNAS`) |
| `networkdisks` | str | | SMB shares to mount (e.g., `//SERVER/SHARE`) |
| `cifsusername` | str | | SMB username for network shares |
| `cifspassword` | str | | SMB password for network shares |
| `cifsdomain` | str | | SMB domain for network shares |
| `i915_enable_guc` | int | | Optional Intel iGPU `enable_guc` parameter (0-3) applied at startup for improved hardware encoding compatibility. Does not reconfigure the kernel; the host must already expose `/sys/module/i915/parameters/enable_guc`. |
| `DOCKER_MODS` | list | | Additional Docker mods for hardware acceleration |
### Example Configuration
```yaml
PGID: 0
PUID: 0
TZ: "Europe/London"
data_location: "/share/jellyfin"
localdisks: "sda1,sdb1"
networkdisks: "//192.168.1.100/media,//nas.local/movies"
cifsusername: "mediauser"
cifspassword: "password123"
cifsdomain: "workgroup"
DOCKER_MODS:
- "linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-opencl-intel"
- "linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-amd"
```
### Hardware Acceleration
Available Docker mods for hardware acceleration:
- `linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-opencl-intel` - Intel OpenCL support
- `linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-amd` - AMD hardware acceleration
- `linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-rffmpeg` - Custom FFmpeg build
For Intel systems that require GuC submission for stable hardware encoding (e.g., N6005), set `i915_enable_guc` to `2` to apply the kernel parameter at container startup. The add-on only writes to the existing runtime module parameter; no kernel rebuild or boot parameter change is attempted. If the path `/sys/module/i915/parameters/enable_guc` is missing or read-only on the host kernel, the add-on logs a warning and continues without modification.
### Mounting Drives
This addon supports mounting both local drives and remote SMB shares:
- **Local drives**: See [Mounting Local Drives in Addons](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Mounting-Local-Drives-in-Addons)
- **Remote shares**: See [Mounting Remote Shares in Addons](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Mounting-remote-shares-in-Addons)
### Custom Scripts and Environment Variables
This addon supports custom scripts and environment variables through the `addon_config` mapping:
- **Custom scripts**: See [Running Custom Scripts in Addons](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Running-custom-scripts-in-Addons)
- **env_vars option**: Use the add-on `env_vars` option to pass extra environment variables (uppercase or lowercase names). See https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Add-Environment-variables-to-your-Addon-2 for details.
### Enable ssl
#### Creating the PFX certificate file first
1. This part assumes you already have SSL certs in PEM format using the Let's Encrypt add on
2. Run this command `openssl pkcs12 -export -in fullchain.pem -inkey private_key.pem -passout pass: -out server.pfx`
3. Set the permission using `chmod 0700 server.pfx`
> Note:
> The above command creates a PFX file without a password, you can fill in a password with `-passout pass:"your-password"`
> but will also have to provide `your-password` to Jellyfin's configuration
#### Automating the PFX certificate
#### Jellyfin configuration
1. From the sidebar, click on `Administration` -> `Dashboard`
2. Under `Networking`, `Server Address Settings`, tick `Enable HTTPS`
3. Under `HTTPS Settings`, tick `Require HTTPS`
4. For `Custom SSL certificate path:`, point it to your PFX file and fill in the `Certificate password` if required
5. Scroll to the bottom and `Save`
## Installation
The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in
comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.
