Jellyfin Desktop
[!WARNING] Deprecated: Development of this Qt-based desktop client has stopped in favor of a completely rewritten client built on SDL and CEF. The new client can be found at jellyfin/jellyfin-desktop.
Jellyfin desktop client built with Qt WebEngine and libmpv. Supports audio passthrough, hardware decoding, and playback of more formats without transcoding.
