Silly question about Jellyfin Media Player - sushigal007 - 2024-09-14

Extremely stupid question, but this is driving me insane - how do I move the Jellyfin Media Player window around my screen? I like to watch things on my laptop in a small window while I do other things, but unlike every other program, I can't just grab the top and move the window when it gets in the way of something and I find myself constantly resizing it, enlarging and shrinking until I've finally got it in another place, and then several minutes later I find myself having to do it all again to move it somewhere else. I can't even shift-rightclick to get an option to move it. Am I just an idiot or is it really not possible to move the window?

Did you enable "Always on top" in the JMP client settings?

Any way to keep it in front without selecting Always on top?

If you're using Windows, install PowerToys and enable the "Always on Top" feature. Once the JMP window is selected, use the keyboard shortcut Win+Ctrl+T to activate the "Always on Top" feature.

Use shortcut buttons Alt+Enter to switch between windowed and fullscreen mode. While Holding Alt press Enter
