HIghlight the functional testing
- can I find the server
- can i login to the server
- can i see a list of things on the server
- can i play the thing
- can I stop the ting
- can aI pause the thing
A lot of tests related to jelly-fin directly are unnecessary, as jellyfin is a product used by many people with extensive tests, i only need to test integration with other parts of the system.
