    I found this 4 year old thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/commen...er_client/) implying there was a plugin for Windows Media Center, but can't seem to find anything about it anywhere.  I tried using the emby plugin to connect to my Jellyfin server but it says there are no users found.

    Did a Windows Media Center plugin ever exist, was support for it removed?  Or was that old post a wild goose chase?  Thanks!

    There once was a plugin but it has been archived for a while now.

    Best guess I can come up with is that earlier versions of the Jellyfin server still had some legacy code that allowed the emby WMC plugin to communicate with it and that was removed at some point in the last 4 years since that post. Anyone know if that's the case?

    Anyone know where I could get a pre-10 version of the server to test that theory?
