Documentation: +--> +## Overview +This jellystack project exists to wrap around [jellyfin/jellyfin-apiclient-python: Python API Client for Jellyfin](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-apiclient-python). I have my own tasks to run and I didn't even read the API client source to see if there was an easy way to rescan a library. + +I use this library to make it easy to rescan an individual library. Obviously Jellyfin has the ability to have a specific library watch a directory, but for some reason this isn't fast enough for me. + +So I use this library, shell script, password file, and bash autocompletion to make my life easier. + +## Upstream +[Author's repo](https://bgstack15.ddns.net/cgit/jellystack/) + +## Alternatives +Visit the web UI, log in as an admin user, navigate to the library and select "scan now."
