For those of you who like party games, I wrote this little thing to generate random characters for celebrity heads based on your jellyfin library.

It scans your jellyfin database file and generates random characters to use. Sometimes you'll get a spiderman, sometimes you'll get IRS Co-Worker #2

Not the most impressive project, but it is my first open source contribution

Suggestion: selectable genres for headshots.

Some of us want to give our friends gay porn orgasm faces.

interesting idea. I've added a genre filter just for you. But I guess you'd have to have gay porn as a recognized genre in Jellyfin, and pretty unlikely the images jellyfin pulls for the actors would be orgasm faces. But hey, let me know if it works out for you

I was actually joking but if you’ve actually done this, thats amazing and might just get me to poke around.

Lol, sounded like something my friends would do. Also it was a good suggestion. Logic gets a bit weird if you select a genre that exists only for TV but you filter only on movies, but I've just made it so if the genre doesn't exist for your filtered media type it just resets to all genres. But didn't take long to implement. Thanks for the suggestion

I don't know this game but I love the idea of using my library (on my own device) to do more. Thanks for building!

The idea is, in a group you each pick a random celebrity, or person of interest or character for someone else (eg, the person to your right). And you have to go around the group asking yes or no questions until someone guesses their person. It's mildly fun

ok. that game i know, but i don't get how you incorporate a pc/tv application into it, because that everybody can see. or is intended to be used by the guy writing the postit?
