Jellyfin API Authorization

To start using the Jellyfin API, authorization is probably the first thing you'll need to do. Jellyfin's authorization options can be a bit confusing because there are a lot of deprecated options.

Generally there are three ways to authenticate: no authorization, user authorization with an access token or authorization with an API key. The first way is easy, just do nothing. But most often you'll need to use either the access token or API key.

Sending authorization values

There are multiple methods for transmitting authorization values, however, some are outdated and scheduled to be removed. It's recommend to use the Authorization header. If header auth isn't an option, the token may be sent through the ApiKey query parameter. Sending secure data in a query parameter is unsafe as the changes of it leaking (via logs, copy-paste actions or by other means) are high. Only use this method as a last resort.

Git Commit Freeze Due to GPG Lock Issues

If you encounter a problem where you cannot commit changes in Git – neither through the terminal nor via the GitHub Desktop application – the issue might be a freeze during the Git commit process. This is often caused by GPG lock issues. Below is a concise and step-by-step guide to resolve this problem.

Solution Steps

1. Check for GPG Lock Messages

Open your terminal and try to perform a GPG operation (like signing a test message). If you see repeated messages like gpg: waiting for lock (held by [process_id]) ..., it indicates a lock issue.
