Jellyfin Desktop player is very sluggish - Netflix - 2025-02-18

Logs
Jellyfin on web and android works fine but the windows player is very sluggish and responds very slow, as you can see in thisĀ video. Selecting options and overall navigation is very sluggish and jittery.

That is a known issue with the old QT. The only workaround for now is to use browser and mpv-shim if you want to direct play more.

So I shouldn't open an issue in JF's desktop client repo?
