- cmake - cmake-3.20.0-windows-x86_64.msi
- Add cmake to the path.
- ninja
- Place this in the build directory.
- QT
- This package is huge. You also need to make a QT account...
- Check "MSVC 2019 64-bit" and "Qt WebEngine" under QT 5.15.2.
- VS2019 Build Tools
- Again this will use a lot of disk space. The installer is small though.
- libmpv1
- Place the contents in the build directory, in a subfolder called
mpv. - Move the contents of the
includefolder to anmpvfolder inside theincludefolder. - Move the
mpv-1.dlltompv.dll.
- Place the contents in the build directory, in a subfolder called
- WIX
You need to run these commands in git bash.
git clone https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player
cd jellyfin-media-player
./download_webclient.sh
cd buildOpen 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/mpv.dll -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output ..

ninja
ninja windows_package
Install QT 5.15.2, remember to check Qt WebEngine.
Then run the following commands (replace <QT_DIR> with your QT installation location):
brew install mpv ninja
./download_webclient.sh
cd build
cmake -GNinja -DQTROOT=<QT_DIR> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output ..
ninja installTo 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- Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\JellyfinMediaPlayer\logs - Linux:
~/.local/share/jellyfinmediaplayer/logs/ - Linux (Flatpak):
~/.var/app/com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player/data/jellyfinmediaplayer/logs/ - macOS:
~/Library/Logs/Jellyfin Media Player/
The main configuration file is called jellyfinmediaplayer.conf. You can also add a mpv.conf to configure MPV directly.
- Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\JellyfinMediaPlayer\ - Linux:
~/.local/share/jellyfinmediaplayer/ - Linux (Flatpak):
~/.var/app/com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player/data/jellyfinmediaplayer/ - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Jellyfin Media Player/
To get browser devtools, use remote debugging.
- Run the application with the command argument
--remote-debugging-port=9222. - Open Chromium or Google Chrome.
- Navigate to
chrome://inspect/#devices. - You can now access the developer tools.
If you have problems:
- Make sure "Discover Network Targets" is checked.
- Make sure
localhost:9222is in the list under "Configure...". - Make sure
--remote-debugging-port=9222is specified correctly.
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.
You can enable experimental support for Jellyscrub and 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.
If you build MPV from source, you currently need to disable pipewire or else the client will segfault.
