Adaptive Polling Implementation

Overview

Implements adaptive polling for ActivityMonitor to reduce Jellyfin CPU load. The system automatically adjusts monitoring frequency: 1s when users are watching content, 5s when idle.

Problem Solved

• Current: ActivityMonitor polls every 1 second
• Issue: High CPU usage on Jellyfin servers
• Solution: Smart polling that adapts to server activity

Key Features

Adaptive intervals: 1000ms (active) / 5000ms (idle)
Web configuration: Settings panel in UI
Real-time updates: No server restart required
Backward compatible: Works with existing setups

Technical Changes

Backend

• backend/tasks/ActivityMonitor.js - Adaptive polling logic
• backend/routes/api.js - New config endpoints (/api/getActivityMonitorSettings, /api/setActivityMonitorSettings)

Frontend

• src/pages/components/settings/ActivityMonitorSettings.jsx - New settings component
• src/pages/settings.jsx - Component integration
• Translation updates (EN/FR)

Configuration

Default: {"activeSessionsInterval": 1000, "idleInterval": 5000}

TODO

• Translations (ES, IT, CN)

Hey @tppadn , can you edit this to merge onto unstable first, direct merging to main branch isnt allowed as we need to do tests first

[tppadn]

Hey @CyferShepard, done! Changed base branch to unstable and resolved conflicts. It should be ok but I haven't tested it again on this branch

[CyferShepard]

Hey @tppadn , i just finished testing this out and everything looks good so far. Will be merging into unstable for greater testing
