MediaFlick Desktop Keeps Jellyfin Out of Your mpv

flick.media Observed source
Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source desktop Jellyfin client that launches playback in the external mpv process already configured on your machine.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The client separates library management from playback: it maintains a local SQLite mirror for titles, summaries, genres, cast, search, collections, and calendar data, then hands the selected stream to the user’s external mpv executable. Its stated compatibility target is unusually concrete, preserving settings such as GLSL shader chains, Lua scripts, input.conf, profiles, and mpv.conf. Playback progress and resume positions are reported back to Jellyfin.
