+## Features
+
+This plugin builds upon the original Media Bar with new capabilities and improvements:
+
+### New Features & Enhancements
+*   **Video Backdrop Support**: Play trailer as background video directly in the slideshow
+*   **SponsorBlock Integration**: Automatically skip intro/outro segments in YouTube trailers
+*   **Enhanced Controls**:
+    *   Keyboard shortcuts (Arrow keys to navigate, Space to pause, M to mute)
+    *   Option to always show navigation arrows
+    *   Standalone "Trailer" button (opens in a modal) if video backdrops are disabled
+*   **Smarter Playback**:
+    *   Option to wait for the trailer to end before advancing the slide.
+    *   Mute/Unmute controls
+*   **Customization**:

+*   **Direct Play**: Click "Play" to start watching immediately
+*   **Details View**: Click "Info" to jump to the item's detail page
+*   **Add To Favorites**: Click the heart to add the item to your favorites
+
+## Installation
+
+This plugin is based on Jellyfin Version `10.11.x`
+
+1.  Open your **Jellyfin Dashboard**.
+2.  Navigate to **Plugins** > **Repositories**.
+3.  Click the **+** button to add a new repository.
+4.  Enter a name for the repo and paste the following URL:
+    ```
+    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodeDevMLH/jellyfin-plugin-manifest/refs/heads/main/manifest.json
+    ```
+5.  Click **Save**.
+6.  Go to the **Catalog** tab.
+7.  Find **Media Bar Enhanced** (Under **General**) and install it.
+8.  **Restart your Jellyfin server.**
+9.  **Refresh your browser** (Ctrl+F5) to load the new interface elements.
+
+## Client Compatibility
+
+Because this plugin relies on injecting JavaScript and CSS into the web interface, it works best on clients that use the web wrapper.
+
+| Client Platform | Status | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :--- |
+| **Web Browsers** (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.) | ✅ | Fully supported. |
+| **Jellyfin Media Player** (Windows/Linux/macOS) | ✅ | Fully supported. |
+| **Android App** | ✅ | Works (Web wrapper). |
+| **iOS App** | ✅ | Works (Web wrapper). |
+| **Android TV / Fire TV** | ❌ | **Not supported** (Native UI). |
+| **Roku** | ❌ | **Not supported** (Native UI). |
+| **Swiftfin** | ❌ | **Not supported** (Native UI). |
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configure the plugin via **Dashboard** > **Plugins** > **Media Bar Enhanced**.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> You must refresh your browser window (F5 or Ctrl+R) after saving changes for them to take effect.
+
+### General Settings
+*   **Enable Media Bar Enhanced Plugin**: Master switch to toggle the plugin.
+*   **Enable Video Backdrops**: Dynamically plays trailers in the background.
+*   **Wait For Trailer To End**: Prevents slide transition until the video finishes.
+*   **Enable Mobile Video**: specific setting to allow video playback on mobile devices (disabled by default to save data/battery).
+*   **Show Trailer Button**: Adds a button to open the trailer in a popup modal if video backdrops are disabled (e.g. on mobile if trailers are disabled there)
+
+### Custom Content
+Define exactly what shows up in your bar.
+
+*   **Enable Custom Media IDs**: Restrict the slideshow to a specific list of IDs.
+*   **Enable Seasonal Content Mode**: Advanced date-based scheduling.
+    *   Format: `DD.MM-DD.MM | Name | ID1, ID2, ID3`
+    *   Example: `20.10-31.10 | Halloween | <ID_OF_HALLOWEEN_COLLECTION>`
+    *   If the current date matches a range, those IDs are used. Otherwise, it defaults to standard behavior or the Custom Media IDs list.
+
+**How to get IDs:**
+Check the URL of an item in the web interface:
+`.../web/#/details?id=YOUR_ITEM_ID_HERE&...`
+
+### Advanced Settings
+*   **Slide Animations**: Enable/disable the "Zoom In" effect.
+*   **Use SponsorBlock**: Skips non-content segments in YouTube trailers (if the data exists).
+*   **Start Muted**: Videos start without sound (user can unmute).
+*   **Full Width Video**: Stretches video to cover the entire width (good for desktop, crop on mobile).
+*   **Enable Loading Screen**: Enable/disable the loading indicator while the bar initializes.
+*   **Always Show Arrows**: Keeps navigation arrows visible instead of hiding them on mouse leave.
+*   **Enable Keyboard Controls**:
+    *   `Left`/`Right`: Change slide
+    *   `Space`: Pause/Play slideshow
+    *   `M`: Mute/Unmute video
+*   **Content Limits**: Fine-tune performance by limiting the number of items (Movies, TV Shows) fetched.
+
+## Build The Plugin By Yourself
+
+If you want to build the plugin yourself:
+
+1.  Clone the repository.
+2.  Ensure you have the .NET SDK installed (NET 8 or 9 depending on your Jellyfin version).
+3.  Run the build command:
+    ```powershell
+    dotnet build Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBarEnhanced/Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBarEnhanced.csproj --configuration Release --output bin/Publish
+    ```
+4.  The compiled DLL and resources will be in bin/Publish.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Effects Not Showing
+1. **Verify plugin installation**:
+   - Check that the plugin appears in the jellyfin admin panel
+   - Ensure that the plugin is enabled and active
+
+2. **Clear browser cache**:
+   - Force refresh browser (Ctrl+F5)
+   - Clear jellyfin web client cache (--> mostly you have to clear the whole browser cache)
+
+### Docker Permission Issues
+If you encounter the message `Access was denied when attempting to inject script into index.html. Automatic direct injection failed. Automatic direct insertion failed. The system will now attempt to use the File Transformation plugin.` in the log or similar permission errors in Docker:
+
+**Option 1: Use File Transformation Plugin (Recommended)**
+
+Media Bar Enhanced now automatically detects and uses the [File Transformation](https://github.com/IAmParadox27/jellyfin-plugin-file-transformation) plugin (v2.5.0.0+) if it's installed. This eliminates permission issues by transforming content at runtime without modifying files on disk.
+
+**Installation Steps:**
+1. Install the File Transformation plugin from the Jellyfin plugin catalog
+2. Restart Jellyfin
+3. Media Bar Enhanced will automatically detect and use it (no configuration needed)
+4. Check logs to confirm: Look for "Successfully registered transformation with File Transformation plugin"
+
+**Benefits:**
+- No file permission issues in Docker environments
+- Works with read-only web directories
+- Survives Jellyfin updates without re-injection
+- No manual file modifications required
+
+**Option 2: Fix File Permissions**
+```bash
+# Find the actual index.html location
+docker exec -it jellyfin find / -name index.html
+
+# Fix ownership (replace 'jellyfin' with your container name and adjust user:group if needed)
+docker exec -it --user root jellyfin chown jellyfin:jellyfin /jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html
+
+# Restart container
+docker restart jellyfin
+```
+
+**Option 3: Manual Volume Mapping**
+```bash
+# Extract index.html from container
+docker cp jellyfin:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html /path/to/jellyfin/config/index.html
+
+# Add to docker-compose.yml volumes section:
+volumes:
+  - /path/to/jellyfin/config/index.html:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html
+```

+# Release & Update Guide
+
+Diese Anleitung beschreibt die Schritte, die notwendig sind, um eine neue Version des **MediaBar** Plugins zu veröffentlichen.
+
+## 1. Version erhöhen
+
+Bevor du baust, musst du die Versionsnummer in den folgenden Dateien aktualisieren (z.B. von `1.0.0.0` auf `1.0.1.0`):
+
+1.  **`Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBar/Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBar.csproj`**
+    Suche nach `<Version>...</Version>` und ändere die Nummer.
+
+2.  **`manifest.json`**
+    Füge einen neuen Eintrag oben in die `versions`-Liste ein (oder bearbeite den vorhandenen, wenn es noch kein Release gab).
+    *   `version`: Deine neue Nummer.
+    *   `changelog`: Was hat sich geändert?
+    *   `timestamp`: Das aktuelle Datum (wird später aktualisiert).
+    *   `checksum`: (wird nach dem Build aktualisiert).
+
+### Versionierungsschema: Major.Minor.Build.Revision
+(Beispiel: 1.0.0.0)
+
+1. **Major** (1.x.x.x)
+   * **Bedeutung:** Hauptversion.
+   * **Erhöhen bei:** Inkompatiblen Änderungen (Breaking Changes) oder komplettem Rewrite.
+   * **Folge:** Setzt alle nachfolgenden Zahlen auf 0.
+
+2. **Minor** (x.1.x.x)
+   * **Bedeutung:** Nebenversion.
+   * **Erhöhen bei:** Neuen Features / Funktionen, die abwärtskompatibel sind.
+   * **Folge:** Setzt Build und Revision auf 0.
+
+3. **Build** (x.x.1.x)
+   * **Bedeutung:** Patch / Fehlerbehebung.
+   * **Erhöhen bei:** Bugfixes, Sicherheitsupdates (keine neuen Features).
+   * **Folge:** Setzt Revision auf 0.
+
+4. **Revision** (x.x.x.1)
+   * **Bedeutung:** Feingranularer Zähler.
+   * **Erhöhen bei:** Notfall-Fixes (Hotfixes), automatisierter Erstellung (CI/CD) oder internen Anpassungen.
+
+## 2. Plugin bauen und packen
+
+Führe den folgenden Befehl im Terminal (PowerShell) im Hauptverzeichnis aus. Wir nutzen hier `dotnet build` statt `publish`, um unnötige Dateien zu vermeiden.
+
+```powershell
+dotnet build Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBar/Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBar.csproj --configuration Release --output bin/Publish; Compress-Archive -Path bin/Publish/* -DestinationPath bin/Publish/Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBar.zip -Force; $hash = (Get-FileHash -Algorithm MD5 bin/Publish/Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBar.zip).Hash.ToLower(); $time = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ"); Write-Output "`n----------------------------------------"; Write-Output "NEUE CHECKSUMME (MD5): $hash"; Write-Output "ZEITSTEMPEL:           $time"; Write-Output "----------------------------------------`n"
+```
+
+## 3. Manifest aktualisieren
+
+Nachdem der Befehl durchgelaufen ist, siehst du am Ende eine Ausgabe wie:
+
+```text
+----------------------------------------
+NEUE CHECKSUMME (MD5): ef8654666ffeae9695e660944f644ad3
+ZEITSTEMPEL:           2025-12-15T12:34:56Z
+----------------------------------------
+```
+
+1.  Kopiere die **Checksumme**.
+2.  Öffne `manifest.json`.
+3.  Füge die Checksumme bei deinem Versionseintrag unter `"checksum"` ein.
+4.  Kopiere den **Zeitstempel** und füge ihn unter `"timestamp"` ein.
+5.  Stelle sicher, dass die `sourceUrl` korrekt auf dein Repository zeigt.
+
+## 4. Veröffentlichen
+
+1.  Lade die Datei `bin/Publish/Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBar.zip` irgendwo hoch (z.B. GitHub Releases).
+2.  Stelle sicher, dass die `sourceUrl` im `manifest.json` auf diesen Download zeigt (oder auf das Repo, je nachdem wie Jellyfin das handhabt - meistens ist `sourceUrl` der Link zum ZIP).
+    *   *Hinweis:* Wenn du das Plugin über ein Repo hostest, muss die URL im Manifest direkt auf die ZIP-Datei zeigen.
+
+## Zusammenfassung der Dateien
+
+| Datei | Zweck | Änderung nötig? |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `Jellyfin.Plugin.MediaBar.csproj` | Definiert die DLL-Version | **Ja** |
+| `build.yaml` | Build-Konfiguration | **Ja** |
+| `manifest.json` | Plugin-Liste für Jellyfin | **Ja** (Version, Hash, Zeit) |

+# 🚀 Git Cheat Sheet: Branches, Merge, Rebase & VS Code
+
+## 🌳 Branches (Zweige)
+* **`main`** → Stabiler Stand, Production-ready (Deployment).
+* **`dev`** → Aktive Entwicklung, Sammelbecken für Features.
+
+---
+
+## 🛠 Zusammenführen von Änderungen
+
+### Git Merge
+Führt zwei Zweige zusammen. Git sucht den letzten gemeinsamen Basispunkt und erstellt einen neuen **Merge-Commit**.
+
+```bash
+git checkout dev
+git merge main
+```
+
+| Details   |        |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Wann?     | In Team-Branches, bei bereits gepushten Branches, wenn Stabilität wichtiger als eine saubere History ist. |
+| Vorteile  | Sicher, einfach nachvollziehbar, schreibt die History nicht um. |
+| Nachteile | Die History kann bei vielen Merges unübersichtlich ("Spaghetti-Graph") werden. |
+
+### Git Rebase
+Setzt deine Commits neu auf die Spitze eines anderen Branches. Die Commit-IDs werden dabei neu geschrieben.
+
+```bash
+git checkout dev
+git fetch origin
+git rebase origin/main
+```
+
+| Details   |        |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Wann?     | In lokalen Feature-Branches (bevor sie geteilt werden), um die History sauber zu halten. |
+| Vorteile  | Erzeugt eine perfekt lineare, leicht lesbare History. |
+| Nachteile | ⚠️ Gefährlich auf geteilten/öffentlichen Branches. Konflikte müssen ggf. für jeden einzelnen Commit gelöst werden. |
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Temporäres Speichern & Spezialbefehle
+
+### Stash (Das "Regal")
+Speichert uncommitted Changes temporär, um das Arbeitsverzeichnis sauber zu machen, ohne zu committen.
+
+```bash
+git stash        # Änderungen "parken".
+git stash pop    # Änderungen zurückholen und Stash leeren.
+```
+
+**Wann?** Wenn du schnell den Branch wechseln musst, aber deine Arbeit noch nicht fertig ist.
+
+### Cherry-pick
+Kopiert einen ganz gezielten Commit von einem Branch in deinen aktuellen.
+
+```bash
+git cherry-pick <commit-hash>
+```
+
+**Wann?** Wenn ein Bugfix auf dem falschen Branch gelandet ist oder du nur eine einzige Funktion aus einem Feature-Branch brauchst.
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Checkout & Switch
+
+```bash
+git checkout dev      # oder git switch dev – Wechselt zum Branch.
+git checkout -f dev   # Force Checkout: Wechselt den Branch und verwirft alle ungespeicherten lokalen Änderungen unwiderruflich! ⚠️
+```
+
+---
+
+## 💻 VS Code Git-Optionen (UI)
+
+VS Code bietet beim Branch-Wechsel oft drei intelligente Optionen an:
+
+* **Migrate Changes ⭐**
+	* Nimmt deine aktuellen Änderungen einfach mit in den neuen Branch.
+	* (Intern: stash → switch → stash pop).
+* **Stash & Checkout**
+	* Parkt deine Änderungen sicher im Stash und wechselt den Branch. Die Änderungen bleiben im Stash, bis du sie manuell wieder herausholst.
+* **Force Checkout ⚠️**
+	* Wechselt den Branch und löscht deine aktuellen, ungespeicherten Änderungen. Nur nutzen, wenn die Arbeit weggeworfen werden kann.

+
+## 🔄 Typischer Sync-Workflow
+
+Um den Entwicklungs-Branch aktuell zu halten, nachdem dev in main gemerged wurde:
+
+1. Auf dev entwickeln.
+2. Merge dev → main für das Release.
+3. Zurück auf dev wechseln:
+		```bash
+		git checkout dev
+		git merge main   # (oder rebase), um den neuesten Stand vom Main wieder in Dev zu haben.
+		```
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 Merksätze
+
+* **Merge** = Historien verbinden (Sicher & Dokumentiert).
+* **Rebase** = Historie neu schreiben (Linear & Sauber).
+* **Stash** = "Ich parke das mal kurz hier."
+* **Migrate Changes** = Sicherer Branch-Wechsel mit "Gepäck".
