  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Jellyfin Control

A robust skill to control Jellyfin playback and TV power via CLI.

Features

🎯 One-Command Play: tv play "Breaking Bad" β€” turns on TV, launches Jellyfin, finds the next episode, and plays it. Smart Resume: Automatically finds the next unplayed episode for series. Resume Position: Resumes Movies/Episodes exactly where left off (with Seek fallback for LG WebOS/Tizen). Device Discovery: Auto-detects controllable sessions (TVs, Phones, Web). Remote Control: Full playback control (play, pause, stop, next, prev, volume, mute). TV Power & Apps: Turn TV on/off, launch apps β€” works with or without Home Assistant. Two TV Backends: Home Assistant integration or direct WebOS (LG TVs, no HA needed). Android TV Support: Direct ADB backend for Chromecast w/ Google TV, Nvidia Shield, Fire TV, Mi Box β€” no HA needed. Three connection modes: Home Assistant (any TV), direct WebOS (LG), direct ADB (Android TV/Fire TV).

Minimal setup (Jellyfin only, no TV control)

{ "skills": { "entries": { "jellyfin-control": { "env": { "JF_URL": "http://YOUR_IP:8096", "JF_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here", "JF_USER": "your-username" } } } } }

With Home Assistant (recommended for TV control)

{ "skills": { "entries": { "jellyfin-control": { "env": { "JF_URL": "http://192.168.1.50:8096", "JF_API_KEY": "your-jellyfin-api-key", "JF_USER": "victor", "HA_URL": "http://192.168.1.138:8123", "HA_TOKEN": "your-ha-long-lived-token", "HA_TV_ENTITY": "media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled48c34la", "TV_MAC": "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" } } } } }

Direct WebOS (LG TV, no Home Assistant needed)

{ "skills": { "entries": { "jellyfin-control": { "env": { "JF_URL": "http://192.168.1.50:8096", "JF_API_KEY": "your-jellyfin-api-key", "JF_USER": "victor", "TV_IP": "192.168.1.100", "TV_MAC": "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" } } } } } First time with WebOS direct: The TV will show a pairing prompt. Accept it and save the TV_CLIENT_KEY the skill prints β€” add it to your env to skip the prompt next time.

Direct ADB (Android TV / Fire TV / Chromecast with Google TV, no HA needed)

{ "skills": { "entries": { "jellyfin-control": { "env": { "JF_URL": "http://192.168.1.50:8096", "JF_API_KEY": "your-jellyfin-api-key", "JF_USER": "victor", "ADB_DEVICE": "192.168.1.100:5555", "TV_MAC": "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" } } } } } First time with ADB: Enable Developer Options on your TV (Settings β†’ About β†’ tap Build Number 7 times), then enable Network/USB debugging. First connection will show "Allow debugging?" on the TV β€” accept it. Requires adb installed on the OpenClaw host (sudo apt install adb).

Jellyfin (required)

🎯 One-Command Play (the magic)

Turn on TV β†’ launch Jellyfin β†’ find next episode β†’ play it. All in one command: node skills/jellyfin-control/cli.js tv play "Breaking Bad" node skills/jellyfin-control/cli.js tv play "The Matrix" The skill validates the content exists BEFORE turning on the TV (fail fast).

Resume / Play Smart

If TV and Jellyfin are already running: node skills/jellyfin-control/cli.js resume "Breaking Bad" node skills/jellyfin-control/cli.js resume "Matrix" --device "Chromecast"

Security Notes

API keys only in openclaw.json env β€” never in workspace files, .env files, or markdown docs. HA tokens are long-lived and powerful. Create a dedicated HA user with limited permissions if possible. TV_CLIENT_KEY (WebOS) is sensitive β€” it allows full control of your TV. Treat it like a password. ADB access grants full control of your Android TV. Ensure your network is secured β€” anyone on the same network could connect via ADB if debugging is enabled. Admin operations (history, scan) require an admin-level Jellyfin API key and will fail gracefully with 403 if permissions are insufficient.

Architecture

lib/jellyfin.js β€” Jellyfin REST API (auth, search, sessions, playback control) lib/tv.js β€” TV control abstraction (HA backend, WebOS backend, Wake-on-LAN) cli.js β€” User-friendly CLI with all commands

Workflow: Agent says "Play Star Trek on TV"
