Findings from a pass over the plugin, smallest first:
Redemptions now run one at a time behind a gate. The status checks and the status
write that follows them were not atomic, so two requests arriving together with
the same one-use token could both mint a guest session. The spent-link check also
moved above the tagging step, so hammering an already-used link no longer re-tags
a whole series on every hit.
The configured maximum expiry is actually respected. Both the API and the picker
did Math.max(configured, 720), so setting the ceiling to anything under 30 days
was silently ignored. The picker now also hides the quick-pick durations that sit
above the ceiling.
The share URL, which carries the raw token, is dropped from the record when the
link is revoked or expires. Records are never deleted, so dead tokens were
accumulating in the store forever. Live links keep it so the dashboard can still
copy them, and the README claim that no token is ever written to disk is corrected
to say what the code actually does.
The HMAC key file is created 0600 instead of inheriting the default mask.
The button used to be cloned in next to "Copy Stream URL", or shoved at the top
of the menu when there was none, which put it in the middle of Jellyfin's own
command groups. Now there is a single injection path: append an actionsheetDivider
plus the action at the end of the sheet's scroller, so it reads as its own
section the way Jellyfin separates its groups.
It also stopped appearing on menus for things that are not media. The old code
resolved the item from the URL, so opening the "..." menu on a cast member inside
a movie page showed ShareLink and would have shared the movie behind it. The item
is now taken from the trigger that opened the menu (card, list row or the detail
page's own button, all of which we can walk up from) and its type is checked
against the server before anything is injected: movie, series, season, episode,
nothing else. The API refuses everything else too, so a hand-rolled request
cannot tag a person or a playlist either.
Clicking the action now dismisses the action sheet instead of leaving it stacked
under the dialog.
Sharing a series or season now tags the entire tree (series, seasons,
episodes) so the guest can browse and play everything inside it, and
strips it all again at cleanup. Redeeming re-tags the tree, so episodes
added after the link was created show up on the next redemption. The
guest lockdown in the web client now asks the server whether a page's
item is visible to the guest instead of hard-coding the single shared
id, so guests can navigate inside the shared tree but nowhere else.
Libraries and collections are still rejected.
Bumps the version to 1.0.1.0.
Opening an expired or invalid link used to dump raw problem-details
JSON at the guest. Now they get a small page matching the sign-in
look, with the same neutral wording whether the link expired or never
existed (so tokens cannot be probed by outsiders), and an automatic
redirect to the Jellyfin home page. Fixes#1.
GuestHiddenSelectors now defaults to empty instead of shipping CSS
selectors for a plugin nobody else runs. Existing installs keep their
saved value. Fixes#3.
Hiding .headerBackButton for guests also removed the video player's back
button (same class), so a guest could not return from playback to the
movie page. Stop hiding that class; keep home/drawer/search hidden.
Cast, studio, genre and tag links on the detail page now have
pointer-events disabled for guests so they stay visible but inert
(clicking Studio no longer spins on a page the guest cannot load), and
the add-to-playlist/add-to-collection actions are hidden.
Add a GuestHiddenSelectors config field (comma-separated CSS selectors,
surfaced through GuestState since guests cannot read plugin config) so
other plugins injected UI can be suppressed for guest sessions without
code changes; defaults to hiding the AI Search elements.
The sign-in bootstrap sent the auth request body as a JS object, so it
was coerced to [object Object] and AuthenticateByName returned 400. Send
JSON.stringify(...) instead.
Guest credentials were written to localStorage as a flat object under
made-up keys. jellyfin-web reads jellyfin_credentials as
{Servers:[{Id,AccessToken,UserId,...}]}, so the guest was treated as
logged out. Write that shape, pulling server Id/name from
System/Info/Public, and redirect with the 10.11 hash route
(#/details?id=...&serverId=...) instead of the legacy #!/ form that
rendered a blank page.
Creating a link now rejects folders and libraries (only movies and
episodes are shareable) so a guest cannot land on an empty tag-filtered
library. Item ids from the menu action are validated as GUIDs client
side, rejected creates are logged server side, malformed redeem tokens
return 404 instead of 500, and the admin table shows the item name and a
copyable link instead of the raw item id.
Includes fix for redemption failing with DbUpdateConcurrencyException:
change the guest password before applying the user policy, since
UpdatePolicyAsync bumps the user's EF concurrency token and a stale
instance then breaks ChangePassword.
