Configurable Authentication Interval for Jellyfin Dashboard Widget?
I was wondering if it's possible to configure how often the Jellyfin Widget is authenticating with the Jellyfin server? It seems like it's pretty excessive and it makes sifting through activity on the Jellyfin side a bit harder. It's not a big deal but I was curious if this is configurable? If not I can submit an enhancement request on github.
It's generating about 25k activity logs a day by authenticating and disconnecting.
Thanks!

There is currently no way to adjust the authentication frequency current (may change in V1.0??)
However, you can create a jellyfin user that's only job is for Homarr integration (it doesn't need any permissions). This will at least make filtering the logs easier.
Homarr also only connects when the widget is open/being viewed. So if no one has a board with the JF integration open, it won't ping all the time....

Ok, that's good to know. That's a good idea to make a dummy user for it and I'll keep an eye out for any release info about possible changes.
Thanks!
I will add I think the user does have to have this permission to show who's watching things on jellyfin. I initially made a dummy user with access to nothing and the widget wasn't displaying anything until I enabled this.
