This is hopefully the last hotfix as I work to get the new desktop player stable for all users.
If you have not used MPV Shim and were unable to use the new Desktop client, this release fixes the issue. The problem was that the authorization wasn't working properly, but for all previous MPV Shim users, the old one made the application appear to work. If video played inside web player window, didn't seem to support advanced codecs, or the "cast" icon didn't indicate the player was connecting to the backend, you were affected.
You will need to log out from the web client and log in again for the application to work properly if you used a broken version.
If you have launched a broken version of the desktop client within the past 12 hours, you will need to clear your cache. (This will not be needed in newer releases.) Open a command prompt or terminal and enter:
- Windows:
rd /s /q %appdata%\jellyfin-mpv-shim\cache - Linux:
rm -r ~/.cache/jellyfin-mpv-desktop/
