A cross-platform Jellyfin media client built on MPV that can run as a background cast target or a full-featured desktop player. It supports direct play of media without transcoding, SyncPlay group watching, Live TV, and remote control from Jellyfin mobile and web apps.
Use cases
- cast media from jellyfin mobile app to mpv on my desktop
- play my jellyfin library without transcoding
- watch jellyfin videos with friends in sync
- watch live tv and schedule recordings from jellyfin
- desktop media player client for my jellyfin server
- run a background cast target for jellyfin
When to choose
- you want direct playback of advanced media formats without server transcoding
- you want a lightweight cast target controllable from Jellyfin mobile or web apps
- you need SyncPlay group watching, Live TV, or shader/SVP enhancements with MPV
When to avoid
- you want a TV-style 10-foot interface rather than a desktop player
- you need a client for platforms other than Windows, Linux, or macOS
- you prefer a simpler player without extensive MPV configuration
