## What it is
A collection of nginx njs scripts and userscripts that add external player links to Emby, Jellyfin, and Plex media servers, and redirect playback to Alist direct links. It works as a reverse-proxy layer or browser userscript across all official clients.

## Use cases
- redirect emby playback to alist direct links
- add external player button to emby and jellyfin clients
- play plex media through external players
- proxy emby server with nginx to inject external links
- use potplayer or vlc to open emby videos

## When to choose
- you self-host Emby/Jellyfin/Plex with media stored behind Alist and want direct-link playback
- you want to open videos in a preferred external player on any official client
- you need a lightweight nginx-based reverse proxy tweak without modifying the media server

## When to avoid
- you don't use Alist or external players
- you rely on very old TV clients lacking the external media database link section
- you want a fully managed GUI solution rather than editing nginx configs
