It works with Jellyfin Web, the official Android app, and Jellyfin Media Player, but not native clients like Swiftfin or Roku. Installation requires patching Jellyfin's index.html, which may need manual permission fixes in Docker or locked-down environments. The author argues the feature works well enough that it should be built into Jellyfin's core rather than left to a community plugin. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
