jellyfin-media-player/client-api.md

To connect to the API:

  <script src="qrc:///qtwebchannel/qwebchannel.js"></script>
  <script>
      new QWebChannel(window.qt.webChannelTransport, function(channel) {
          // Called when API is ready
          window.channel = channel;
      });
  </script>

The API endpoints will be present on window.channel.objects. To call them, include a function in the call to recieve the callback data. (The calls are async.)

To connect to an event, call the .connect method on the event and pass a callback. To disconnect the callback, call the .disconnect method and pass the same callback.

An example call to play a video URL:

window.channel.objects.player.load("your_video_file", {}, {type: "video", headers: {"User-Agent": "TestPlayer"}, startMilliseconds: 0, frameRate: 0, media: {}}, "", "", function(){window.channel.objects.player.play()});
