# Jellyfin Media Player Desktop client using jellyfin-web with embedded MPV player. Supports Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Media plays within the same window using the jellyfin-web interface unlike Jellyfin Desktop. Supports audio passthrough. Based on [Plex Media Player](https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player). ![Screenshot of Jellyfin Media Player](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iwalton3/mpv-shim-misc-docs/master/images/jmp-player-win.png) Downloads: - [Windows, Mac, and Linux Releases](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player/releases) - [Flathub (Linux)](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player) Related Documents: - Corresponding web client: [Repo](https://github.com/iwalton3/jellyfin-web-jmp/) [Release](https://github.com/iwalton3/jellyfin-web-jmp/releases/) - API Docs in [client-api.md](https://github.com/iwalton3/jellyfin-media-player/blob/master/client-api.md) - Tip: For help building, look at the GitHub Actions file! ## Building at a glance (Linux) ```bash sudo apt install autoconf automake libtool libharfbuzz-dev libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libvdpau-dev libva-dev mesa-common-dev libegl1-mesa-dev yasm libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libuchardet-dev zlib1g-dev libfribidi-dev git libgnutls28-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev cmake wget python g++ qtwebengine5-dev qtquickcontrols2-5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev libcec-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtwebengine qml-module-qtwebchannel qtbase5-private-dev mkdir jmp; cd jmp git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build.git cd mpv-build echo --enable-libmpv-shared > mpv_options echo --disable-cplayer >> mpv_options ./rebuild -j4 sudo ./install sudo ldconfig cd ~/jmp/ git clone git://github.com/iwalton3/jellyfin-media-player cd jellyfin-media-player mkdir build cd build wget https://github.com/iwalton3/jellyfin-web-jmp/releases/download/jwc-1.7.2-2/dist.zip unzip dist.zip cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ .. make -j4 sudo make install rm -rf ~/jmp/ ``` ## Building for Windows Please install: - [cmake](https://cmake.org/download/) - cmake-3.20.0-windows-x86_64.msi - Add cmake to the path. - [ninja](https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases) - Place this in the build directory. - [QT](https://www.qt.io/download-thank-you?hsLang=en) - This package is huge. You also need to make a QT account... - Check "MSVC 2019 64-bit" and "Qt WebEngine" under QT 5.15.2. - [VS2019 Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2019) - Again this will use a lot of disk space. The installer is small though. - [libmpv1](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/libmpv/) - Place the contents in the build directory, in a subfolder called `mpv`. - Move the contents of the `include` folder to an `mpv` folder inside the `include` folder. - Move the `mpv-1.dll` to `mpv.dll`. - [WIX](https://wixtoolset.org/releases/v3.11.2/stable) You need to run these commands in git bash. ```bash git clone https://github.com/iwalton3/jellyfin-media-player cd jellyfin-media-player mkdir build && cd build curl -L https://github.com/iwalton3/jellyfin-web-jmp/releases/download/jwc-10.7.2-2/dist.zip > dist.zip unzip dist.zip ``` Open the "x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019". `cd` to the `build` directory. Run: ``` set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=ninja.exe -DQTROOT=C:/Qt/5.15.2/msvc2019_64 -DMPV_INCLUDE_DIR=mpv/include -DMPV_LIBRARY=mpv/mpv.dll -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output .. lib /def:mpv\mpv.def /out:mpv\mpv.dll.lib /MACHINE:X64 ninja ninja windows_package ``` ## Log File Location - Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\JellyfinMediaPlayer\logs` - Linux: `~/.local/share/jellyfinmediaplayer/logs/` - Linux (Flatpak): `~/.var/app/com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player/data/jellyfinmediaplayer/logs/` - macOS: `~/Library/Logs/Jellyfin Media Player/` ## Config File Location The main configuration file is called `jellyfinmediaplayer.conf`.
