# Jellyfin Seasonals Plugin
|
||
|
||
Jellyfin Seasonals is a plugin that adds seasonal themes to your Jellyfin web interface. Depending on the configuration, it automatically selects a theme based on the current date or allows you to manually set a default theme.
|
||
|
||
This plugin is based on my manual mod (see the [legacy branch](https://github.com/CodeDevMLH/Jellyfin-Seasonals/tree/legacy)), which builds up on the awesome work of [BobHasNoSoul-jellyfin-mods](https://github.com/BobHasNoSoul/jellyfin-mods).

## Features
|
||
|
||
- **Automatic Theme Selection**: Dynamically updates the theme based on the date (e.g., snowflakes in December, fireworks for new year's eve).
|
||
- **Easy Integration**: No manual file editing required. The plugin injects everything automatically.
|
||
- **Configuration UI**: Configure settings directly in the Jellyfin Dashboard (very basic for now, needs some work in the future).

|
||
## Automatic Theme Selection
|
||
If automatic selection is enabled, the following themes are applied based on the date. Specific holiday events take precedence over general seasonal themes.:
|
||
|
||
| Theme | Active Period | Description |
|
||
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
||
| **`santa`** | Dec 22 – Dec 27 | Christmas theme |
|

|
||
| **`hearts`** | Feb 10 – Feb 18 | Valentine's Day |
|
||

|
||
| **`snowflakes`** | December (Remainder) | General December winter theme |
|
||
| **`snowfall`** | January & February | General winter theme (outside of holidays) |
|
||
| **`autumn`** | Sep, Oct, Nov | Fall theme (when not Halloween) |
|
||
| **`none`** | All other dates | Default appearance |
|
||
|
||
> **Note:** Holiday themes (like `santa` or `fireworks`) override monthly seasonal themes (like `snowflakes`).
|
||
|
||

## Legacy Manual Installation
|
||

<summary>Click to expand instructions for the old manual installation method (without plugin)</summary>
|
||
|
||
### Installation
|
||
|
||
> [!TIP]
|
||
> Take a look at [CodeDevMLH/Jellyfin-Mods-Automated-Script](https://github.com/CodeDevMLH/Jellyfin-Mods-Automated-Script)
|
||
|
||
1. **Add Seasonal Container to `index.html`**
|
||
Edit the `index.html` file of your Jellyfin web instance. Add the following code inside the `<body>` tag:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<div class="seasonals-container"></div>
|
||
<script src="seasonals/seasonals.js"></script>
|
||
```
|
||
2. **Deploy Files**
|
||
Place the seasonals folder (including seasonals.js, CSS, and additional JavaScript files for each theme [this one](https://github.com/CodeDevMLH/Jellyfin-Seasonals/tree/legacy/seasonals)) inside the Jellyfin web server directory (labeld with "web").
|
||
|
||
3. **Configure Themes**
|
||
Customize the theme-configs.js file to modify or add new themes. The default configuration is shown below:
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
const automateThemeSelection = true; // Set to false to disable automatic theme selection based on current date
|
||
const defaultTheme = 'none'; // Default theme if automatic selection is off
|
||
|
||
const themeConfigs = {
|
||
snowflakes: {
|
||
css: 'seasonals/snowflakes.css',
|
||
js: 'seasonals/snowflakes.js',
|
||
containerClass: 'snowflakes'
|
||
},
|
||
snowfall: {
|
||
css: 'seasonals/snowfall.css',
|
||
js: 'seasonals/snowfall.js',
|
||
containerClass: 'snowfall-container'
|
||
},
|
||
|
||
// more configs...
|
||
|
||
none: {
|
||
containerClass: 'none'
|
||
},
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
4. **Reload the web interface**
|
||
After making these changes, restart your Jellyfin server and/or refresh the web interface (ctrl+F5, sometimes you need to clear the browsers temp files/cache (every time with firefox ;-()) to see the changes.
|
||
|
||
### Theme Settings
|
||
Each theme's JavaScript file contains additional settings to customize its behavior. Here are examples for the `autumn` and `snowflakes` themes:
|
||
|
||
**Autumn Theme Settings**
|
||
```javascript
|
||
const leaves = true; // Enable/disable leaves
|
||
const randomLeaves = true; // Enable random leaves
|
||
const randomLeavesMobile = false; // Enable random leaves on mobile devices
|
||
const enableDiffrentDuration = true; // Enable different animation duration for random leaves
|
||
const leafCount = 25; // Number of random extra leaves
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Snowflakes Theme Settings**
|
||
```javascript
|
||
const snowflakes = true; // Enable/disable snowflakes
|
||
const randomSnowflakes = true; // Enable random snowflakes
|
||
const randomSnowflakesMobile = false; // Enable random snowflakes on mobile devices
|
||
const enableColoredSnowflakes = true; // Enable colored snowflakes on mobile devices
|
||
const enableDiffrentDuration = true; // Enable different animation duration for random snowflakes
|
||
const snowflakeCount = 25; // Number of random extra snowflakes
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Usage
|
||
**Automatic Theme Selection**
|
||
By default, the theme is automatically selected based on the date. For example:
|
||
|
||
Snowfall: January
|
||
Hearts: February (Valentine's Day)
|
||
Halloween: October
|
||
|
||
Modify the determineCurrentTheme() function in seasonals.js to adjust date-based logic.
|
||
|
||
**Manual Theme Selection**
|
||
To use a fixed theme, set automateThemeSelection to false in the theme-configs.js file and specify a defaultTheme.
|
||
|
||
**Custom Themes**
|
||
1. Add your CSS and JavaScript files to the seasonals folder.
|
||
|
||
2. Extend the themeConfigs object with your theme details:
|
||
```javascript
|
||
myTheme: {
|
||
css: 'seasonals/my-theme.css',
|
||
js: 'seasonals/my-theme.js',
|
||
containerClass: 'my-theme-container',
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Additional Directory: Separate Single Seasonals
|
||
For users who prefer not to use the automatic seasonal theme selection, individual seasonals are available in the `separate single seasonals` folder. Each seasonal theme can be independently loaded and used without relying on the main automatic selection system.
|
||
|
||
but this requires to the modify of the `index.html` with adding the html in `add_to_index_html`.
|
||
|
||
To use a single seasonal theme, include its specific CSS and JS files in your `index.html` inside the `<body> </body>` tags provided by `add_to_index_html.html` in the sub-theme-folders as shown below:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<div class="seasonalsname-container"></div>
|
||
<script src="separate single seasonals/snowflakes.js"></script>
|
||
<link rel="stylesheet" href="separate single seasonals/snowflakes.css">
|
||
|
||
</details>
