Outputting audio to windows? - catwillmew - 2024-10-14
Hi,
I have a jellyfin server running on my linux box. I have a windows desktop with decent speakers attached to it. I have a windows laptop and many android devices that I would like to be able to use to play audio remotely on the windows desktop. What's the best way to accomplish this? I only care about audio, don't use jellyfin for video at all.
Edit: I know that the official Jellyfin client has a "Play on" dropdown but I have no idea how to get things to appear in there.

I recommend using Jellyfin MPV Shim. After you install and configure it, it operates as a system tray application. You’ll then find it listed as a device in the Play On section of your other Jellyfin apps.

Hello, I think you should like this. To play audio from your Jellyfin server on your Windows desktop and other devices, you can use the following approach. Setting Up Jellyfin for Audio Streaming Install Jellyfin Server: Ensure your Jellyfin server is correctly set up and accessible on your network.
Jellyfin Clients:
- Windows Desktop: Use the Jellyfin web client (browser) or install the Jellyfin desktop app.
- Windows Laptop and Android Devices: Install the Jellyfin app for Windows or the Jellyfin app from the Google Play Store on your Android devices.
Hope this helps for you!
