I’ll look into it when I get some time. Though it might be better to throw some more weight behind https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/44401 instead of trying to make the the Emby integration play nice with Jellyfin servers going forward. They’re sure to diverge more over time, though I don’t know how much feature overlap/difference the two methods have right now.

Do you think it makes sense to keep the Emby integration compatible with Jellyfin, or have the two projects diverged enough that they should have separate integrations?
