Scans the full git history on push, pull request and weekly, so a credential that was committed and later removed is still detected. The scanner archive is pinned by version and verified by SHA-256 before it runs, and matched values are redacted so they never reach the CI log.
Placard
A Jellyfin plugin that bakes each library's name onto a representative backdrop, matching Jellyfin's default library-card styling — so your home-screen library cards look intentional and stop rotating.
What it does
Jellyfin auto-generates a collage for libraries with no image and re-rolls it over time. Placard replaces that with a static, labeled card per library:
- Picks a backdrop from a title in the library (highest-rated, random, or newest), or a pinned title you choose.
- Composites the library name centered, in Noto Sans, with a soft drop shadow over a light darkening scrim — the same look Jellyfin uses for its default covers.
- Sets the image through the internal provider API, so the change shows without a server restart.
- Runs as a scheduled task (daily by default) and applies to new libraries too.
Configuration
Dashboard → Plugins → Placard:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Master on/off. |
| Backdrop source | Highest rated / Random / Newest title in each library. |
| Darkening | Scrim opacity (0–255); ~105 matches the default. |
| Label size | Label height as a percent of image height. |
| Pinned sources | One per line, Library Name=Item Title. Overrides the rule. |
Example pins:
Movies=The Dark Knight
Anime=Death Note
Collections=The Avengers Collection
Then run Scheduled Tasks → Generate Placard library cards (or wait for the daily run).
