This is the third pre-release of the new local media UI. It fixes a ton of bugs and adds offline playlists support on top of the already existing Movies & TV offline support. Music remains unsupported.
Changes:
- Playlist support and playlist downloads
- Setting user-data/media-source/Path, for auto applying profile (#556)
- Adds ability to relocate downloads folder. (#557)
- Add handling of restarting MPV and allow auto-terminating it when idle to free memory.
- Improved handling of external MPV, may close many issues people have with it.
- Extensive manual regression testing. (Test list)
- Added extensive unit and integration tests to help catch issues before they affect users.
To install this pre-release on Linux, use:
pip install --upgrade "jellyfin-mpv-shim[all]"
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall "git+https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-mpv-shim@local-ui"
(First command ensures gui dependencies, second command installs prerelease.)
