App Info

Name: jellyfin-plugin-book-cover
URL: https://github.com/GeiserX/jellyfin-plugin-book-cover
Description: Jellyfin plugin that automatically fetches book covers from Google Books and Open Library. Enhances your Jellyfin book library by pulling high-quality cover art from multiple sources, so your ebook collection looks polished without manual image management.

Category: Media Management
License: GPL-3.0
Tech Stack: C#, Jellyfin Plugin API

Key Features

Fetches book covers from Google Books and Open Library APIs
Automatic metadata matching for your Jellyfin book library
Multi-source fallback — tries Google Books first, then Open Library
Native Jellyfin plugin — installs directly into Jellyfin's plugin system
No external services or Docker containers required

Why it's useful for homelab users

Homelab users running Jellyfin as their media server often manage ebook collections alongside movies and music. Jellyfin's built-in book metadata support is limited, leaving many books without cover art. This plugin fills that gap by automatically fetching covers from Google Books and Open Library, giving your book library the same polished look as your video collection.
