Jellyfin NowPlaying

I have been working on getting my Jellyfin setup configured. I am not planning on switching from Plex just yet. I just wanted to be ready in case I needed to. It is also just fun to tinker with stuff. :)

One thing that I really like in my Plex setup is a script that I use to display what is currently playing on my server from the command line. I have it setup to run when I ssh in to the server. The script is called Plex NowPlaying.

I decided to create a simplified version for Jellyfin.

Here are the variables to configure:

# The Jellyfin server url.
JELLYFIN_URL="http://YOUR-DOMAIN:8096"

# THe Jellyfin API key.
API_KEY=""
