This pre-release introduces an improved MPV OSC, which exposes all the functionality you would expect the player UI to support, including:
- Full support for switching subtitle streams including external ones.
- An actual skip intro button which doesn't override seeking via the UI.
- A working volume slider.
- Next/Prev episode buttons and chapter skipping.
- Easier access to SyncPlay.
The new UI is optional, to switch back to classic MPV UI, simply go to settings, change the option, and restart the application. The new UI doesn't affect keybinds at all.
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.)
Development was assisted using AI.
