Every release of Jellyscribe, newest first. Each entry covers the user-facing changes. Backwards through the project history, all the way to v1.0.0.
Jellyscribe updates the library it uses to read Letterboxd web pages, which it relies on when an account signs in through the website and when it finds films on letterboxd.com. Nothing changes in how syncing works: the website sign-in, film lookups, diary entries and ratings were all checked against letterboxd.com with the new version.
When the official sign-in does not work for an account, Jellyscribe signs in through the Letterboxd website instead. Letterboxd changed its sign-in page, and since then that fallback has failed every time with "The form on this page had expired", so those accounts could not sync at all. Jellyscribe now reads the sign-in page the way it works today, and the fallback signs in, logs films and saves ratings again. Accounts that sign in the official way were never affected.
Each linked diary has a new option, "Re-request watched titles", next to the other Seerr settings on both the admin page and your own page. Auto-request now skips films and seasons you have already watched (see below), so a cleanup tool deleting them does not download them again. If you want the old behaviour, for example because you rewatch and like the library to keep everything on your watchlist, turn this on for that account. It is off by default, so nothing changes unless you choose it.
With Seerr auto-request on, a watchlisted title that a cleanup tool deleted after you watched it no longer comes back. Before, Jellyscribe saw it missing from the library and filed a new Seerr request under your name, so a show you had finished could download again every time it was cleared out. Now anything Jellyscribe has logged for you is left alone. For TV this works season by season: a season you have watched any of is skipped, and a season you have not started, such as a new one, is still requested. Films and shows you have never watched are requested exactly as before.
When an admin edits a linked diary on the Jellyscribe settings page, the save now starts from the account as it is stored and changes only what the form shows. Before, the page rebuilt the account from scratch, so any account setting the form did not list would have been reset to its default on the next edit. Nothing is lost today, because every current setting is on the form, but future settings are now safe from the moment they ship.
Both Jellyscribe dashboards, the admin settings page and your own page, now share one script and one stylesheet instead of each carrying its own copy. The pages are about five times smaller, and the shared part, fonts included, is downloaded once per version and then cached. They look and behave exactly as before. After a plugin upgrade, an open browser tab picks up the new version the next time the page is opened, with no reload needed. When you post a review that lands on a diary entry you had already logged, the result now says so, and any note from the server is shown under that account. The design follows Wouter Stulp's shared-assets work in his fork, reworked to keep the bundled fonts and to load the right version after an upgrade.
Reviewing a film from your activity list no longer adds a second watch to your Letterboxd diary. When the film is already in your diary from a sync, the review and its star rating now go onto that diary entry, keeping its original date. A review is never written over one you already wrote on Letterboxd: you are asked to edit that one on Letterboxd instead. If the entry can't be found, or your account is signed in through the Letterboxd website rather than the official API, the review is saved as a new entry on the day you watched the film rather than today, and the result tells you so.
The activity list now reaches your whole history. A search box above the status filters finds any title. A "Load older history" button pages back through everything Jellyscribe has logged, instead of the list quietly stopping after a couple of hundred entries. A binge of one show folds into a single row that shows the episode range and any failures, and opens with a click or the keyboard. Prev and Next switch off at the ends. The same works on the admin dashboard's overview and its Activity tab. In the account dialog, the watchlist option's description now changes when you switch a new account between Serializd and Letterboxd, and the service names read "Serializd: TV" and "Letterboxd: Film". Thanks to Wouter Stulp, whose search, episode grouping and older-history work is included.
Jellyscribe is steadier when Letterboxd or Serializd ask it to slow down. A rate-limit pause is honoured for up to a minute. Anything longer skips the film or episode until the next sync, and a Letterboxd sync that keeps hitting the limit stops early instead of trying every film. Letterboxd retries are now accepted instead of refused as a repeat. Stopping a sync, or restarting Jellyfin, no longer waits out a long pause. When you sign in with your Letterboxd website login, a TV series that Letterboxd lists as a film can no longer be mistaken for a movie with the same TMDb number, so the wrong film is never marked watched or rated. A Serializd review of an episode now lands on the same episode a log would: for a show Serializd lists as a single season, it goes to the right episode of that season, and it is refused if Serializd has no such episode. The activity lists on both dashboards show the full page they ask for again.
You can now see exactly what Jellyscribe would send before anything leaves your server. In the admin settings, Integrations has a Preview of the anonymous telemetry ping, the exact JSON, with Copy and "Copy + regenerate ID" for bug reports, and a Regenerate ID button that gives your server a fresh anonymous identity whenever you like. The admin Overview asks once whether you would like to turn telemetry on, and never again after you answer. "Send to developer" on the Logs tab now has a Preview of the full bundle, your note included, and its confirmation lists everything the bundle holds. Email addresses no longer appear in Jellyscribe's logs or in a bundle: Serializd accounts are named by a short tag, and any address in older log lines is masked. A successful review's reply is no longer written to the log, and replies that older versions logged are cut from what you can send. The telemetry description is also more precise: usage counts are rough buckets, error counts are exact per week, and an extra ping goes out at most once a day when a new kind of error starts.
The Jellyscribe pages now work properly on a phone, by keyboard and with a screen reader, and they follow your Jellyfin theme. The admin settings page no longer runs off the side of a phone screen, and on a phone each activity row shows its date under the title, an idea from Wouter Stulp. The section menu, the star rating and the account and review windows can all be used with the keyboard. The windows now behave as proper dialogs: they keep focus inside, close with Escape and return you to where you were. Every field is labelled for screen readers. Thanks to Wouter Stulp, buttons and small text are much easier to read, disabled buttons look disabled, and the pages no longer restyle the rest of Jellyfin. The pages now switch between light and dark with your Jellyfin theme instead of your device's setting, and in light mode every status colour is readable. "Back to Jellyfin" now works on servers that live under a sub-path such as /jellyfin, and returns you to the page you came from without reloading.
The Jellyscribe dashboards now keep your accounts safe when something goes wrong. If your accounts or activity can't be loaded, the page says so and offers Retry instead of showing an empty list or zeros, so a save can no longer wipe your linked diaries. A failed or repeated Save never adds an account twice, and Remove now asks you to confirm in the page and only removes the account once the server has. Every save, sync, login check and review now tells you when it fails and why, rather than hanging on "Saving…" or claiming everything was up to date, and a sync whose progress can't be read stops with a clear message. A review with only a star rating now sets your Letterboxd rating instead of always failing. A review that lands on some of your accounts says which ones it missed. Review is no longer offered on rows that can't be reviewed. The rewatch date defaults to your own local date, and selecting text in a modal no longer closes it. On the admin dashboard, saving settings no longer undoes account changes your users made in the meantime, Sync all now also runs the TV sync for every user, and the overview is labelled as your own activity. Opening Jellyscribe from the sidebar while the admin settings page is still loaded now works. Thanks to Wouter Stulp, whose fixes for showing load and save failures and for reporting the Integrations save result are included.
Syncs get faster and calmer on big libraries, building on work by Wouter Stulp, whose changes to scheduling, caching, connection reuse and history upkeep are included here. The scheduled tasks now run at fixed, staggered times overnight (Letterboxd from 3:00, Serializd from 4:00, telemetry at 5:00) instead of a day after each restart, so if you kept the default schedule your syncs move to these times, and a server that is off overnight still syncs at least every two days. Sync history no longer grows forever: old skipped and failed entries are trimmed without forgetting anything the sync relies on, and history files are rewritten safely so a crash can no longer truncate them. Films and shows are looked up once instead of on every run, and the review window and watchlists no longer scan the whole library. On accounts that use the Letterboxd website, real-time and rating sync reuse the signed-in session instead of logging in again for every film. When Cloudflare blocks the website, a run pauses that account after a few films instead of spending a minute on each one; a struggling Serializd is given room, a catch-up stops after a few failures in a row, and Serializd writes are never retried in a way that could log an episode twice. An account paused by repeated login failures now tries one login a day for a week, so a Letterboxd outage clears on its own, while a rejected password still waits for you to re-save it. Films without a TMDb id are noted once instead of on every run, the diary imports wait for a running sync instead of competing with it, and Jellyfin no longer waits on large history files at startup.
Jellyscribe now keeps track of each linked Letterboxd account separately. If two people share one Jellyfin login, the second account gets its own diary entries instead of being skipped because the first account already logged the film. Watches are now logged on the day you watched them in your server's time zone, whether real-time sync or the scheduled sync catches them. An evening film no longer lands on the next day, and the two no longer disagree. Films already on your diary for that day are remembered, so later syncs stop checking them again. When Letterboxd has a bad few days, those films are no longer given up on: Jellyscribe only stops trying a film when Letterboxd keeps saying it does not have it, or when it has failed on its own for over a week. If Letterboxd cannot answer the duplicate check, the film is retried later instead of risking a second diary entry. Two quick finishes of the same film now log once. A watchlist that cannot be read in full, on Letterboxd or Serializd, no longer removes anything from your playlist, collection or Seerr watchlist. The scheduled sync now marks rewatches. Ratings the plugin imports no longer get pushed back out to your other accounts. Half-point ratings now round the same way on Letterboxd and Serializd (a 4.5 in Jellyfin is 2.5 stars). Diary dates are sent correctly on servers set to a non-Gregorian calendar. Stopping the server mid-sync no longer marks a film as failed.
Jellyscribe no longer sends saved passwords, cookies or the Seerr API key back to the browser. Before, the settings pages loaded each linked account's Letterboxd or Serializd password and cookies into the form, and the admin settings returned every user's password and the Seerr key. Anyone holding a session could read them. Saved values now show as "Saved" with an empty field. Leave it blank to keep the saved value, type to replace it, or tick "Remove saved cookies" or "Remove saved key" to drop it. Verify login works with the saved password, and an admin can move an account to another Jellyfin user or rename it without re-entering its password. Existing saved logins keep working after the upgrade. Thanks to Wouter Stulp, whose fork made stored secrets write-only first; this release builds on his work.
Serializd watchlist collections are now kept separately for each person. Before, everyone who turned on Serializd watchlist sync shared one collection called "Serializd Watchlist", so each person's sync removed the other's shows. A custom name could also point the sync at any collection on the server, including one an admin curates. Each linked account now gets its own collection, named "Serializd Watchlist (your Jellyfin username)" by default, and Jellyscribe only ever changes the collection it made for that account. On upgrade, if only one account was syncing into the old shared collection, it carries on using it. Otherwise the old collection is left exactly as it is and each account gets a fresh one, so you can delete the old one once you no longer need it. Collections are visible to everyone who can see the shows in them. Custom names for watchlist collections and playlists can now be set only by an admin, from the plugin's settings page. Seerr requests are now made as each person's own Seerr account, so Seerr applies their own permissions. Admins, note one change: if you have turned off "Auto-approve requests created by Jellyscribe", requests from people without Auto-Approve in Seerr now wait in Seerr's approval queue, where before they were approved as the admin. With the switch on, which is the default, requests still go straight through. Thanks to Wouter Stulp, who spotted the Seerr approval problem in his fork.
Jellyscribe is now safer on servers shared by several people. Only administrators can run the Seerr connection test, and a failed test no longer reports details about what lives at the address entered. The sync progress shown on the dashboard no longer names whose sync is running. The activity and stats views refuse to answer when the server cannot tell who is asking, where before they returned everyone's history. Login checks for Letterboxd and Serializd are now rate-limited per user and across the server, so nobody can use the server to test passwords and get its address blocked; the dashboard says how long to wait. "Sync watchlist now" for Serializd can no longer start several overlapping runs. Two old account endpoints that nothing used any more were removed, one of which returned a stored password. The Seerr URL field now shows a generic example address. Thanks to Wouter Stulp, whose fork fixed the Seerr test, progress and history issues first.
This release fixes two security problems that affect any server where more than one person uses Jellyscribe, so please update. First, the admin dashboard showed account names, film titles and error messages as raw page content, so a user could save a specially crafted account name that ran code in an admin's browser the next time they opened the dashboard. Every value is now shown as plain text, and an old, unused stats page with the same problem has been removed. Second, Jellyscribe remembered Letterboxd and Serializd logins by account name alone, so a user who entered someone else's Letterboxd username or Serializd email with any password could end up syncing, reviewing and rating as that person. A remembered login is now only reused when the password matches too. Households that deliberately share one Letterboxd or Serializd account across several Jellyfin users are unaffected. Both problems were found and fixed by Wouter Stulp. Thank you, Wouter.
Many anime are split into several seasons in Jellyfin but listed on Serializd as one long season. The Apothecary Diaries is a good example: Jellyfin shows a season 1 and a season 2, while Serializd, which follows TMDb, has one long season covering both. Watching season 2 in Jellyfin produced nothing on Serializd, because Jellyscribe asked for a season 2 that Serializd does not have and skipped the episode. Jellyscribe now recognises that shape and logs the episode to season 1 at its running number, so season 2 episode 1 lands on Serializd as episode 25. It only does this for shows Serializd keeps as a single season, when it knows exactly how many episodes the earlier seasons have, and when the running number still falls inside Serializd's season. A show Serializd simply has not added a new season for yet, or a library missing episodes that would shift the numbering past Serializd's last episode, is still skipped rather than logged to the wrong episode.
If you renamed a Jellyfin user, their Jellyscribe dashboard suddenly showed zero films, zero episodes and no recent activity, as if nothing had ever been synced. Nothing was lost: every entry was still there, but each one was filed under the name the user had when it was written, and the dashboard only looked for the new name. The same mix-up quietly weakened the duplicate checks, so a film synced before the rename could be logged to Letterboxd a second time afterwards. History is now tied to the Jellyfin user itself rather than to their name, and existing entries are linked up automatically the first time this version starts. The one case this cannot repair on its own is a user who was already renamed before updating: their older entries stay filed under the old name.
Clicking Jellyscribe used to reload the whole Jellyfin web app and drop you onto a plugin settings page. It now opens as a proper page inside Jellyfin, the way Jellyfin Enhanced's Bookmarks does: no reload, Jellyfin's header and menu stay put, and the back button takes you straight back to where you were. You can also bookmark it, since it has its own address ending in #/jellyscribe. On Jellyfin 12, where the sidebar was replaced by a menu under your profile picture, Jellyscribe now appears in that menu, so it is reachable there for the first time. Everything on the page works as before, and the old settings-page address still works.
The Jellyscribe link in Jellyfin's sidebar used to appear only if you had also installed the File Transformation plugin, so many people never saw it and had to dig through the dashboard to find their settings. Jellyscribe now adds the link itself, the same way Jellyfin Enhanced adds its own menu, and nothing on your server's disk is changed. If you already use File Transformation, nothing changes for you and you still get exactly one link. The link also now works on servers that run Jellyfin under a sub-path such as /jellyfin, where it used to point at the wrong address. On Jellyfin 12, the web client moved its menu into the profile button, so the link doesn't show there yet; open Jellyscribe from Dashboard, Plugins instead.
Until now the Verify login button only worked for Serializd. For a Letterboxd account it said the login would be checked on the first sync, so a wrong password or a mistyped name went unnoticed until something quietly failed to appear on Letterboxd. Verify login now works for Letterboxd too: it signs in the same way syncing will and tells you whether it got in, and if not, the reason Letterboxd gave. It also catches a common mix-up: Letterboxd no longer lets you sign in with your email address, so Jellyscribe now asks for your Letterboxd username instead and explains why if you enter an email.
Jellyscribe sends your rating along when it logs a film to your Letterboxd diary, and that happens the moment the credits roll. Most people rate afterwards, and until now those ratings never left Jellyfin: the film was already logged, so later syncs skipped it. Jellyscribe now notices when you change a film's rating and, about ten seconds after you settle on a score, sets it as your Letterboxd rating for that film. Jellyfin's own web app has no star rating, only favourites, so the usual way in is a review written with Jellyfin Enhanced 12.10 or later with its option to copy review stars into Jellyfin switched on; ratings from any other app that saves them to Jellyfin work too. Only real changes are sent: ratings already in Jellyfin when you update are left alone until you change them, and favouriting or rewatching a film leaves Letterboxd alone. If Letterboxd is briefly unreachable, the rating is retried a few times. As on Letterboxd itself, rating a film marks it watched and takes it off your watchlist. Clearing a rating in Jellyfin does not remove it from Letterboxd, and some apps, Infuse among them, keep ratings to themselves and never save them to Jellyfin, so those still cannot be synced. Each Letterboxd account has a new Sync ratings to Letterboxd switch, on by default.
Until now Jellyscribe sent every film and episode you finished to your linked accounts, whichever library it lived in. If you already track some of that somewhere else, anime on AniList for example, those watches were turning up on Letterboxd or Serializd as well, and the only way to stop it was to switch the whole account off. Each linked account now has an Excluded libraries list in its settings. Tick a library there and nothing from it is sent to that account, whether by the daily catch-up or the moment you finish watching. The setting is per account, so two people sharing a Jellyfin login can make different choices, and a library you leave unticked syncs exactly as before. Exclusion only applies from now on: anything already logged stays where it is, and diary import and watchlist sync still look at every library.
In Jellyfin's Scheduled Tasks page, most of Jellyscribe's tasks were still filed under a heading called Letterboxd, left over from before the plugin was renamed, while one sat under Jellyscribe. That even put the Serializd tasks for TV under Letterboxd. Every Jellyscribe task, film and TV alike, now appears together under Jellyscribe. Nothing about how or when the tasks run has changed.
If your Letterboxd watchlist or your list of watched films was longer than about a hundred titles, Jellyscribe only ever saw the first hundred. A watchlist of a thousand films turned into a playlist of ninety-nine, and the diary import only marked your first hundred watched films as played. The fix shipped in 2.4.0 for this did not hold: it asked Letterboxd for the next page in a way Letterboxd quietly ignores, so every request came back with the first page again and nothing warned that anything was missing. Jellyscribe now asks for each page exactly the way Letterboxd expects, so the whole list comes through, and if Letterboxd ever stops handing over new pages, the sync stops, says so in the log, and leaves your playlist exactly as it was instead of quietly shrinking it. Run a watchlist sync after updating and your playlist will fill in with everything that was missing.
If you run Ghostery, uBlock Origin with annoyance lists, AdGuard or Brave shields, the Raw cookies field in the account settings could simply not appear. The label was there, the box was not, and nothing showed up in the browser console to explain it. The cause was on our side: the field was named with the word "cookie" in it, and blockers carry sweeping rules that hide anything named that way in order to kill cookie consent banners. Ours got caught in the net. The field has been renamed internally so blockers leave it alone, and it still reads Raw cookies on screen. This mattered more than it sounds, because pasting cookies is exactly what we recommend when Cloudflare or two-factor authentication blocks a normal password login, so the people most in need of that box were the ones least likely to see it.
Importing your Serializd diary could fail outright with a confusing error about an element of type Number. The cause was that Serializd diaries contain reviews of whole seasons and whole shows, not just individual episodes, and those entries carry no episode number. Jellyscribe tried to read one anyway and the whole import stopped there, so nothing was imported at all. Those entries are not episode watches, so they are now simply skipped and the rest of the diary imports normally. If your Serializd import has been failing, it should work on the next run with no changes needed at your end.
Jellyfin 12 changed the way plugins add items to a playlist, and Jellyscribe was still asking the old way. The result was that on Jellyfin 12 your watchlist playlist silently stopped being filled in, while everything else carried on working normally. Jellyscribe now detects which version of that API the server offers and uses the right one, so a single release keeps working on Jellyfin 10.11 and Jellyfin 12 alike. If you are on Jellyfin 12 and your watchlist playlist has been sitting empty or stale, this release fixes it and the next watchlist sync will fill it in. Jellyfin 12 is now explicitly supported.
When a Letterboxd login fails three times in a row, Jellyscribe pauses that account and shows "Login failing, sync paused". Correcting the password was supposed to clear that and resume on the next run. It did if you edited the account from the user page, but not from the admin dashboard, because those two save through different paths and only one of them reset the pause. Admins were left stuck: the password was right, the badge still said failing, and even deleting the account and adding it again changed nothing, because the paused state is remembered per Letterboxd username and a new account simply inherited it. Saving an account from the dashboard now clears the pause whenever its password or cookies changed, so a corrected login is retried on the next sync.
Version 2.4.0 made sure new Seerr requests get approved so they actually reach Radarr and Sonarr. It did nothing for requests that were already sitting in Seerr waiting for approval, which for anyone who had been hit by the problem was most of them. The reason is that Jellyscribe skips any title Seerr already has a request for, so those requests were never looked at again and nothing ever approved them. Upgrading appeared to change nothing at all. Jellyscribe now checks for watchlist titles left waiting for approval and approves those too, so an existing backlog clears itself on the next watchlist sync instead of needing to be worked through by hand.
Two problems that quietly cut the watchlist feature off at the knees. Large watchlists only ever synced their first hundred films: the plugin asked Letterboxd for the next page using the wrong field name, so it always concluded there was nothing more to fetch and stopped. Everything past the first page simply never arrived. Separately, watchlist titles sent to Seerr were created but never downloaded. Seerr only hands a request to Radarr or Sonarr once it is approved, and it decides that from the permissions of the person the request belongs to, not from the admin API key the plugin uses, so requests for anyone without auto-approve sat in the pending queue forever. Jellyscribe now approves the requests it creates, and there is a switch in the Seerr settings to turn that off if you would rather review them yourself.
Films and episodes that Jellyfin marks watched through real playback have always synced with the correct date. But checking a title watched by hand, using the checkmark rather than actually playing it, could leave Jellyfin's own watched-date field set to January 1st 1970 instead of a real date, and the plugin trusted that value as-is. The fix treats an epoch-adjacent watched date the same way it already treats a missing one: there's no real watch date to log yet, so the sync waits rather than posting a bogus entry to Letterboxd or Serializd. Once Jellyfin records an actual playback date for the title, it syncs normally.
When a Letterboxd password went stale, the plugin used to retry the login on every scheduled run, forever, and the only place you could find out was the plugin's own dashboard. On a set-and-forget server that meant weeks of silent failures, and the constant retries could even trip Letterboxd's rate limiting for accounts that still worked. Now, after three consecutive failed logins, syncing for that account pauses itself: no more login attempts, a warning lands in Jellyfin's activity log where admins actually look, and the account card in both dashboards shows a "login failing" badge. Re-save the account's credentials and syncing resumes on the next run, and nothing is lost in the meantime, the scheduled catch-up picks up any watches from while it was paused.
Opening the review modal used to always start at "No rating", even when Jellyfin already knew exactly what you'd rated the film or episode, whether you rated it in the Jellyfin web UI, a client app like Infuse, or through an earlier Jellyscribe review. Now the modal looks up your stored rating and pre-fills the stars, so you're editing your rating rather than re-entering it. The star widget also finally does half stars: click the left half of a star for a .5 rating, matching what Letterboxd itself supports. Ratings on Jellyfin's 10-point scale (like a 7/10) now display faithfully as 3.5 stars instead of not showing at all.
The sidebar link this plugin adds to Jellyfin's nav is injected by registering with the File Transformation plugin once, at Jellyfin startup. That registration was racing File Transformation's own startup init, so on some restarts (including scheduled ones) it silently failed and the link just never appeared, with nothing in the logs beyond a generic, undiagnosable error. Registration now retries a few times before giving up, and a real failure logs the actual cause instead of a useless wrapper message.
If your watchlist syncs with "auto-request via Jellyseerr" turned on, a successful request used to only ever show up in the server log, there was no way to see it from the dashboard itself. Now every title your watchlist successfully requests (film or TV) gets its own entry in your sync history, with the real title, right alongside your regular Letterboxd and Serializd activity. A request that fails shows up too, so if Jellyseerr rejects something you can see exactly what and when instead of wondering why your watchlist "isn't working."
A few follow-ups to the 2.0.0 rebrand. The admin and user dashboard headers lost their "by Lachlan Young and AI" credit line during the redesign, it's back. The opt-in anonymous telemetry, which only ever counted Letterboxd film syncs, now counts Serializd TV syncs and errors too, since that pipeline was never touched when TV support was built. And the Logs tab's Refresh button, which had been dumping a raw JSON blob into the panel instead of readable log lines, now shows the actual logs.
Two things land together in this release: the plugin is renamed from "Letterboxd Sync" to Jellyscribe, and it now syncs TV shows to Serializd alongside films to Letterboxd, as a fully independent second diary.
Nothing about the rename requires any action, every linked account, sync history entry, and setting carries over untouched. The two diaries never affect each other, so a hiccup on one never touches the other. Details below.
If the "Import Letterboxd diary as Jellyfin watched" task ran and did nothing, it used to finish in a second and leave no trace in the log, so a switched-off toggle looked identical to a broken feature. The task now says why it skipped each user (for example, an account exists but diary import is not turned on, with a pointer to the setting), reports when your Letterboxd returned no films, and always ends with a one-line summary of what it checked. A stuck progress banner on the dashboard for empty diaries is also fixed. If reverse sync has not been working for you, update, run the task once, and the log will now tell you exactly why.
A user sent a diagnostic bundle that arrived completely empty: the plugin had not logged anything recently, so there was nothing to collect, but the dialog still reported plain success and neither side could tell why the bundle was blank. Now the send dialog warns you when no plugin log lines were found (with a hint to reproduce the problem first and try again), and every bundle carries a small status line saying which log files were read and how many lines matched, so an empty bundle explains itself.
No functional changes. The plugin’s test suite compiled with seven compiler and analyzer warnings (a couple of async test methods that never awaited anything, one fire-and-forget mock setup, and a few assertions written the long way around). All seven are fixed, so the build is warning-clean again and future warnings stand out instead of drowning in noise. Nothing about syncing, accounts, or the dashboard changes in this release.
A small improvement to the opt-in anonymous telemetry: alongside the existing per-week sync bucket, the weekly ping now includes a lifetime sync bucket. Until now, an instance reporting zero syncs in a week was indistinguishable from one where syncing never worked at all; the lifetime bucket separates the two, so setup problems can be spotted and fixed. Same privacy rules as everything else: a coarse bucket only (0, 1-10, 11-100, 100+), never exact numbers, and nothing is sent unless you opted in.
Your Letterboxd password, session cookies, and Seerr API key are now encrypted before they are written to disk, instead of sitting in the plugin config file as plaintext. Nothing changes about how you use the plugin: existing saved credentials are picked up and upgraded automatically the next time they are saved, no re-entry needed.
No functional changes to syncing. The project now documents openly how it is built: a new AI.md page explains that most of the plugin is AI-written under human direction and review, what tooling is used, and the checks every change passes before it ships. The Code of Conduct is rewritten to something honest for a one-person project, and the README links to all of it.
A second repository entry for this plugin, an edge-cached mirror of the exact same manifest, is added to your Jellyfin catalog next to the existing GitHub one, a single time. Your GitHub entry is never touched, so updates keep working even if the mirror is unreachable, and if you would rather not have the mirror you can simply delete it: the plugin will not add it back. The mirror counts an anonymous, weekly-rotating hash per request so we can see roughly how many servers run the plugin; no IP addresses or personal data are ever stored, and this is entirely separate from the opt-in telemetry.
No functional changes to syncing. This release adds an anonymous, privacy-preserving install counter so the developer can see roughly how many Jellyfin servers run the plugin. No personal data is collected: your IP address is never stored, and the anonymous weekly fingerprint used to avoid double-counting cannot be traced back to you or linked across weeks.
Fixes a sync failure introduced when Letterboxd changed their website. Films stopped logging to your diary because the plugin could no longer read each film's identifier from its Letterboxd page. The plugin now reads the new page format, so watched films sync again.
If you have opted in to the anonymous telemetry, plugin errors are now sorted into more specific categories instead of a single generic "other" bucket. Rate-limiting, Letterboxd server outages, failed writes back to Letterboxd, and page-parsing problems are each labelled distinctly. This is purely a labelling improvement: no behaviour changes, and nothing new about you or your library is collected.
Jellyseerr and Overseerr have merged into a single project called Seerr. The plugin now uses the new name everywhere you see it, in the settings page, your personal account page, and the documentation, so the labels match what you see in the app you are connecting to. Nothing about the integration changes: your existing Seerr URL, API key, and per-account settings are kept, and there is nothing to reconfigure.
No functional changes. CI now uploads JUnit test results to Codecov Test Analytics so flaky tests and failures are tracked across releases. Nothing in the plugin itself changes.
Letterboxd often blocks plain username/password login with a Cloudflare or reCAPTCHA challenge, and accounts with two-factor authentication can never log in that way at all. Telemetry showed this is the single most common reason a sync fails on a fresh install. This release makes raw cookies the clearly recommended way to authenticate, warns you when you save an account without them, and turns the cryptic two-factor login failure into a message that tells you exactly what to do.
Reporting a problem used to mean digging through Jellyfin log files and pasting the right lines into a GitHub issue. Now there is a "Send logs to developer" button on the Logs tab: it packages your recent Letterboxd Sync activity, uploads it privately, and hands you a short reference code to quote in your bug report. It is opt-in every single time you use it, shows you exactly what will be sent before anything leaves your server, and is upfront that logs, unlike the anonymous telemetry, can identify you. This release also tightens who on your server is allowed to read those logs.
Entirely opt-in and off by default. If you enable it, one small anonymous ping a week tells the project which features are actually used, so roadmap decisions stop being guesses. Nothing else in the plugin changes.
Fixes releases v1.14.1 through v1.15.3 failing to load on Jellyfin 10.11.9/10.11.10 (the plugin was compiled against a newer Jellyfin SDK than those servers ship). If your plugin recently showed as disabled or "malfunctioned", update to this version. No feature changes.
No plugin behaviour changes.
No plugin behaviour changes.
No plugin behaviour changes.
New opt-in per-account setting "Also backfill requests for already-available watchlist films" (off by default; requires Auto-request). Default behaviour is unchanged for everyone who leaves the box off.
No plugin behaviour changes.
Fixes two scheduled-sync dedup bugs reported by a plugin user, one of which re-logged the same film to Letterboxd roughly every other day.
No plugin behaviour changes.
Two preventative measures aimed at the next ABI surprise. No plugin behaviour changes.
Restores the v1.0–v1.12 manifest-changelog tone after v1.13.0 and v1.13.1 drifted into incident-report prose and a conventional-commit subject line respectively. Backfills both on letterboxdsync.dev's Releases page.
No plugin behaviour changes.
Fixes #46. Restores sync on the new SDK ABI; no other plugin behaviour changes.
Shared TV logins (e.g. two people on the same family Jellyfin profile) can now each have their own Letterboxd diary, ratings, and watchlist.
Addresses #21.
Fixes #20.
Fixes #12.
