I don't see a way to avoid it. AFAICT, Jellyfin live TV stream URLs extracted and played in another player (like MPV or VLC) don't count toward any session limits.
HOWEVER, those live TV sessions are only valid as long as the actual Jellyfin is still streaming. I closed the live TV session in Jellyfin and MPV stopped playing the stream once it reached the end of what it had buffered.
