There is some discussion regarding JMP (Jellyfin Media Player) and its lack of development the past year. Jellyfin Official appears open to replacing JMP with an alternative, meaning pushing users to a different application.
What desktop clients are people using currently? Are there any in the works that you believe could replace JMP?
If you are developing one, please reply and advertise it here!
Kodi
The jellyfin plugin is great but it doesn’t have the ability to cast from another device AFAIK.
Jellyfin to MPV Shim.
I mostly use Jellyfin on Firefox, except on My Steam Deck where the JMP worked better in gaming mode.
Also, for Music I use Finamp everywhere, Desktop and Mobile!
I’ve been using Fladder on my steam deck, it allows downloading for offline play. Works pretty well but the interface is too mobile centric IMO.
There was Jellyflix which had a similar feature but it wasn’t straightforward to get running on Linux. Haven’t checked it since!
Delfin on desktop linux. Official app on android and android tv with mpv as external player.
