Discord RPC

Once playback has been added, discord RPC capabilities would be really awesome.

There are a few jellyfin related projects that achieve this already but not in a seamless way, e.g jellyfin-rpc needing a running service, the PR for jellyfin-media-player being untouched for months, etc.|

Stuff like this would really set this project apart form jellyfin-media-player

Add home screen sections

Show section for

• Library
• Continue watching/listening
• Up next
• latest movies latest shows and other latest items from all the user libraries

Ability to select none for subtitles

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a lot of shows that have subtitles, but my user does not use them. When attempting to play one recently, there was no option to deselect them. I attempted to click on my user settings and it just says "WIP settings"

Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to turn off subtitles

Describe alternatives you've considered
I mean, I ended up using another client.

Homebrew package for Macos

Hi,
it would be nice to have a homebrew cask package available for jellyplayer for easy installation/management.

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Create card components

• Landscape cards
• Portrait cards
• Square cards
• Skeleton
• Create overlay Actions

Subtitle Support

If possible, maybe add subtitle support? That would be really helpful / nice

Movies Library Not showing all movies

The Movies library is showing only one movie even though there are a few more present. same case for music. shows looks like is showing all. All of them can be played from homescreen and even searched but cant be seen in library

Add Server menu does not recognize servers not using HTTPS or using the :8096 port.

Describe the bug
The Add Server menu upon first launching the app does not recognize any servers using http://, not using a FQDN [citation needed] or using the :8096 port [citation needed]. The only way I found to connect to my server is to use Tailscale MagicDNS and Caddy to handle HTTPS and get a FQDN.

JellyPlayer needs to

• be able to connect to servers not using HTTPS
• be able to connect to servers not using port 80/443 (maybe)
• be able to connect to servers using a flat hostname in DNS (eg. rosebud instead of rosebud.local, rosebud.lan, rosebud.tswhatever.net)

This seems like just an input validation bug. JMP does not experience this issue.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Add Server menu
2. Enter any address as described above
3. Observe the failure

Expected behavior
As with JMP, any inputted address should be checked to see if its valid, instead of relying on input validation.

support for books

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using the books category for audio books. The individual books do show when selecting that category. When selecting a book the book shows along with a number in the top right indicating the number of tracks for that folder. But when clicking that entry, nothing happens.

Tracks can be selected ok in webUI + Jellyfin Media Player.

Describe the solution you'd like
A click on an individual book entry after selecting the artist should open the track view.

Additional context

In one example nothing happens, no error. Users remains on the artist page with the book showing and the number of tracks inidcated on the book cover.

In another case an actual error was shown:

move to next track when playing an album track

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently when playing a track from an album playback stops once the track has been played.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if JellyPlayer moved to the next track of the album and continued playing that until all remaining album tracks have been played.

movies not playing on linux

First really cool project, at the moment I'm watching and occasionally building /testing it, so this is just a bug report, do what you want with it, and happy to test on linux if its helpful.

1. when I try to watch a movie, it loads the background images and does nothing. when I kill the movie I get an error that says the browser does not support playing this movie. If I load the server in a browser the movies plays as expected.
2. when you kill the server.py process with os.kill you are passing "0" which does not kill the process, I would suggest importing signal and either passing signal.SIGTERM, rather than 0.

Also you are using the default 5000 port for flask, I would suggest picking a random open port although honestly I have no idea how you would pass that to your webengineview url dynamically, so this may not be a helpful suggestion.

Either way cool project keep up the great work

App Freezes a lot

When using the AppImage file provided in releases, most tasks in JellyPlayer ends up freezing the app and then resulting to a gray solid background.

Sometimes even basic navigation freeze,

When this occurs, the console does output the same message:

** (jelly-player:458070): WARNING **: 10:05:38.695: atk-bridge: get_device_events_reply: unknown signature

I understand the app in in alpha.

• add a fixed logout button on both folded and open states
  • closed
