Add Jellifyn, if possible. #52

Hello, I would like to request to add Jellyfin to the system, if possible. It would be a nice addition.

Why Jellyfin:

In my opinion, it runs better than Plex or Kodi. I use it on Fire Stick Lite and it runs fine.
When I used Plex I had to have internet connection even, if I wanted to play the movies on local network. But, it could be me who messed up things and that's why it did not work without internet.
It only needs an IP address to connect to the server, If you plan to stream your stuff locally you don't need a password to your profile, so its easy to connect.

That's a good idea but I don't think that this binary has already been compiled for the TSP. You should address this request on the community (Reddit or RGH/Retro Handhelds discord). If one day someone compile it, I will be happy to include it in CrossMix ;)

I thought about it a bit more and we don't even need the Jellyfin client, a media player which supports UPNp/DLNA is enough. And it would work with Plex, Jellyfin or other apps.

I tried to figure out how to cross compile VLC, but I got lost. I'll just post a request.

A solution is to use jellyfin_mpv_shim. It can be installed with pip3 however the actuall pip install is broken as it miss ssl library i believe or python was built without ssl module. Not sure. The app is just a cast client for jellyfin using mpv which is already installed. It not allow to directly browse jellyfin db but we can send things from a smartphone/computer and keep it available for others things.

I see, so it would function as a Chromecast or Amazon Fire Stick for example. It's a good option, but it would be nice to be able to browse the movie libraries.

I'll check it out tomorrow. But I can't promise anything.

I'm actually building nfs-utils as my jellyfin library is also shared as a nfs server. I'll honestly just browse and start anything like that. No more need for a jellyfin client once that will be setup x')
