Terminology

media_type

• There are four different media_types:
  • movies
  • episodes
  • audio
• Jellyfin has a fourth media_type:
  • audiobooks
• Emby also supports the audiobooks media_type but classifies them as audio.

media_item

• A media_item is considered a single media_type file.
  • A single movie is considered a media_item.
  • A single episode is considered a media_item.
  • A single audio track is considered a media_item.
  • A single audiobook track is considered a media_item.

conditional_behavior

• There are five types of conditional_behaviors for each media_type:

  1. whitetag
     1. behavioral whitetag
  2. blacktag
     1. behavioral blacktag
  3. favorite
  4. whitetag
     1. behavioral whitetag
     2. normal whitetag
  5. blacktag
     1. behavioral blacktag
     2. normal blacktag
  6. whitelist
  7. blacklist

• The conditional_behaviors have a priority as shown above

  • Where favorite is the highest priority by default
  • behavioral whitetag and behavioral blacktag can be individually configured to have a higher or lower priority than favorite
  • And blacklist is the lowest priority.

admin_user

• The admin_user is needed to request an authentication key from the media server.
• The admin_user needs to have the "Allow this user to manage the server" option enabled.
• The recommendation is to create an admin_user separate from the regular users.
  • Although this is posssible; it is not recommended the admin_user is also a regular user.
  • The admin_user should only be used for actions requiring their escalated permissions.

user

• The users are the non-admin_user accounts created on the Emby/Jellyfin media server.

monitored_user

• A monitored user is a user selected during the initial MUMC setup process. Their accessible libraries will be what MUMC uses to find and delete media_items.
• user and monitored_user are often used interchangeably.
