Looking for a way to broadcast notifications of new media to a whatsapp group, which I use for requests and new media. It just me, kids and friends (10 users).

Not all have Discord, so that option is out (however well documented).

Anyone seen anything on this?

Greatly appreciated.

Side note; Been running my server for around 5 months. Have all the usuall plugins installed, custom branding, LiveTV through an iptv service, schedule, recordings etc etc. Absolutely loving it. It's just perfect. It's grown rapidly. Over 160 Movies and 90 odd TV Shows and counting. I've already bought two extra HDD's to accommodate. It literally never fails. Any client, flawless, even on the fixed tablet in the car. Now if only I could get notifications via WhatApp to save me doing this manually with every new episode/film. Complete automation is the goal.

Edit: my bad spelling.

I've had an issue with an LG smart TV (not really an LG, its a re-brand). The web browser was horrifically slow and it flat out refused to play anything. It has very limited processing resources. I was planning on side loading the jellyfin client for LG TV's but that was all dropped in favour of a chromecast. Instantly solved the problem (and they're quite cheap on social media marketplaces)

Other than that, I've never had an issue with any client.

My media is a mix of pretty much everything available. 264, 265, avi etc etc. I occasionally have an issue with 265 media, stuttering. Easily solved by deleting and redownloading a 264 version. Transcoding (or not, dependant on client) is all handled automatically by Jellyfin.

Hope that helps?
