The main reason why this feature does not exist in most players is because Jellyfin doesn't do any audio analysing like Plex does server side. They run the analysis of the audio and save the data, then when query the file it sends back this data to the Client which the client then processes and renders the waveform.
In order to implement this in my player, I would have to perform the analysis on locally downloaded tracks only so that the data is ready for the Client to interpret when the track plays. I believe this will also be the same for an audio visualiser.
Other, the UX and performance won't be good enough that anyone would actually use it.
