    In my Jellyfin media player, i have 2 servers saved for simplicity Server A and Server B. 
    I would like to have 2 shortcuts or .exe on my desktop one for Server A one for Server B.
    This is a approach I have used for other programs such as Parsec. I have 3 computers all registered to one Parsec client with 3 shortcuts on the desktop the target field for the shortcuts looks like this ""C:\Program Files\Parsec\parsecd.exe" peer_id=****3Qzu**********Spd8" so it launches the program and automatically connects to the server associated with the peer id the shortcut provides. Is something similar possible with Jellyfin? My understanding is that this is basically just passing a command to the program on launch. Can this be done with an IP or server name?

    There is no startup option for Jellyfin Media Player to specify the server to connect to, so it is not possible to do what you want
