A modular UI upgrade for Jellyfin that introduces a cinematic home slider, richer metadata, hover previews, profile personalization, GMMP music playback, Netflix-style pause and details views, studio hubs, notifications, parental PIN control, and a centralized settings experience.

Overview

Jellyfin MonWUI Plugin appears in Jellyfin as JMSFusion and acts as an all-in-one frontend enhancement layer built around a modular slider system located in Resources/slider/.

Rather than applying a single visual tweak, it enhances the entire browsing experience — including home screen presentation, metadata depth, hover interactions, profile flow, music playback, pause behavior, library discovery, and settings management.

The goal is simple: make Jellyfin feel more polished, more personal, and more premium — without cluttering the interface.

Client Compatibility

JMSFusion works by injecting JavaScript and CSS into the Jellyfin Web UI.

Supported clients:

Web browsers using Jellyfin Web
Mobile clients that embed the Jellyfin Web client, such as Jellyfin for Android and Jellyfin for iOS

Not supported:

Jellyfin for Android TV and other native TV clients that do not load the server's jellyfin-web frontend

In short: if the client does not render /web/index.html, JMSFusion cannot run there.

Installation

Open Jellyfin Dashboard
Go to Plugins → Repositories
Add:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/G-grbz/Jellyfin-MonWUI-Plugin/main/manifest.json

Go to Plugins → Available
Install JMSFusion
Restart Jellyfin

Uninstall

Open Jellyfin → Plugins
Uninstall JMSFusion
Restart Jellyfin
Hard refresh (Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R)

Notes

After install/update, perform a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5)
You may need to refresh a few times for all UI assets to fully update
Android TV clients use a separate native UI and do not load the injected jellyfin-web assets, so JMSFusion features will not appear there
Some advanced modules are optional and may require admin access, API keys, or server-side tools
Hover videos for manually added studio collections can be sourced from YouTube. You can use Gharmonize as a tool: https://github.com/G-grbz/Gharmonize

If you use Watchlist and want to hide the default Jellyfin Favorites tab, add the following CSS to the Jellyfin custom CSS area:


  button.emby-tab-button.emby-button[data-index="1"] {
    display: none !important;
}
