Build commands for Fedora:

Note, the only real differences here is that libraries are in diffrent directories on Fedora systems.

mkdir ~/jmp; cd ~/jmp
git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build.git
cd mpv-build/
echo -Dlibmpv=true > mpv_options
echo -Dpipewire=disabled >> mpv_options # hopefully temporary
./rebuild -j`nproc`
sudo ./install
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

mkdir build
cd build/

sudo make install

Building for Windows

Please install:

You need to run these commands in git bash.

git clone https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player
cd jellyfin-media-player
mkdir build
cd build

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/libmpv-2.dll -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output ..
lib /def:mpv\mpv.def /out:mpv\mpv.dll.lib /MACHINE:X64
ninja
ninja windows_package

Building for MacOS

Install QT 5.15.2, remember to check Qt WebEngine.

Then run the following commands (replace with your QT installation location):

brew install mpv ninja
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja -DQTROOT=<QT_DIR> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output ..
ninja install

To create redistributable bundle, some library paths need to be fixed. At the project root directory, run:

python3 ./scripts/fix-install-names.py ./build/output/Jellyfin\ Media\ Player.app

Config File Location

The main configuration file is called jellyfinmediaplayer.conf. You can also add a mpv.conf to configure MPV directly.

To get browser devtools, use remote debugging.

License

Jellyfin Media Player is licensed under GPL v2. See the LICENSE file. Licenses of dependencies are summarized under resources/misc/licenses.txt. This file can also be printed at runtime when using the --licenses option.

Unofficial Plugin Support

You can enable experimental support for Skip Intro in client settings. These are included for convenience only and is not an endorsement or long-term commitment to ensure functionality. See src/native for details on what the plugins modify code-wise.

Known Issues

If you build MPV from source, you currently need to disable pipewire or else the client will segfault.
