    So all the play action in jellyfin launch the video in Potplayer.

    It works well with a local library, through the Web interface on Firefox, not on the windows Jellyfin media player app cause it relies on a .js script.
    It can be launched on full-screen or -kiosk mod so it looks like an app.

    For the clickable link to the local directory folder, I'm testing it on a Firefox portable offline installation because I'm not sure about security risk of a Firefox add-on that I use for that (Local Filesystem Links by austrALIENsun, AWolf,  that need the installation of a .exe in Windows).
    Also it needs to set Powershell scripts execution on unrestricted.

    I also made a shortcut that launch the local Jellyfin server service and display the library in Firefox, then kill both process on exit.

    Why ?
    Because PotPlayer have better support of Nvidia RTX auto HDR and super resolution, Direct3D11, DXVA Cuda decoder, or MadVR, pass-through audio with lots of settings, WASAPI, PCM and LPCM audio, and lots of advance settings overall. Best video player on Windows for me.

    It's base on https://github.com/tccoin/Jellyfin-Potplayer but with some improvement, and it actually works.

    Let me knows if you think I should do a guide.

    Hi,

    Could you please help me to setup Jellyfin to work with PotPlayer on Windows?

    I have Tampermonkey extension on firefox ready. Just need a little push or guide how to do it Smiling-face. I would be very grateful if I could make this work as Potplayer is my go to media player.

    Please let me know if you could help me out. BTW a link that can open the local path of the video by clicking on the path in the media information page in Jellyfin would be sick. Love it.

    Best Regards
    Ladislav
