No SyncPlay option in Windows desktop client - Olomorn - 2024-07-17

Hi everyone,

I just have a small issue : the desktop client on windows does not seem to have the option to start or join a SyncPlay group anymore. The option is still present (and working) on the web client and the android client, but weirdly it does not appear at all on my windows desktop client. Is there an option i may have missed?
My current fallback is to use the web client, but it would be best to avoid the unnecessary transcoding.

Thanks in advance :D

I will look into this when I get home tonight.

What server version are you running and what Jellyfin Media Player version are you running.


RE: No SyncPlay option in Windows desktop client - Olomorn - 2024-07-17

Thanks! My server is running Jellyfin 10.9.7 (on Debian 11.10, bare metal), and my client is version 1.11.1 (windows x64).

It definitely shows up on mine.

   

Try this.

Go to C:\Users\yourUser\appdata\local.  There will be a "jellyfinmediaplayer" and "Jellyfin Media Player" folder.  Delete both.  Re-open Jellyfin and log back in.

Oh, I probably should have thought of that myself. It works, thanks a lot!
