As for MacOS, I only had an early 2011 macbook pro lying around, which runs an OS version that jellyfin isn't supported on (needs MacOS 11.7 as a minimum), but with opencore legacy patcher to the rescue I got the newest OS installed and installed the client to continue my search for the cache folder.
With some luck I managed to find a folder similar to the Windows one - at ~/Libraries/Caches/'Jellyfin Media Player'
Running unsigned scripts and exe files on other computers is a new headache I've learned about these past days
But on macOS I found the easiest way to do it was to make a file through AppleScript Editor and make my mac users press the play button to run the commands I needed to run.
Again, super simple code:
.. but for some reason it didn't change anything for her after deleting the cache folder.. still a blank screen when she loads up Jellyfin Media Player..
Then I got reminded of this other thread where someone suggested putting the client in full screen - and lo and behold, such a fucking simple fix actually worked for her..! I guess the 6 hours it took wasn't wasted though, I'm a bit better on MacOS now
But the only problem now was that she was still running the old web version and not my newly edited one, so it seems I still have some digging to do to find the actual cache folder, since deleting the other one apparently didn't do the trick
