Thanks, but already tried it. It does load "my" mpv..but the path to the movie file is a localhost adress and not the actual one. That means it will not respect settings for the file I have set(i keep separate settings wth multiple parameters changed, saved in each folder specifially for that movie or series/season)..and come to think of it, since its essentially a casting device its logical to use this I guess.
But why is it so hard to mimic the behavour of Emby theatre in this respect? That one sends only the actual path..why can't that be done in Jellyfin? (EmbyTheatre have its own set of problems and is a bit delicate on Arch Linux, but for this option it handles things very nice).
EDIT: Plex used to have this problem too..i used a "external player" javascript plugin to actually get the file location sent to my then Potplayer installation on Windows. Then came Emby with its Theatre app and it just became much easier. Swtiched to Linux since that.
