jellyfin-mpv-shim VS FSRCNN-TensorFlow

You could try Jellyfin-MPV-Shim but it’s not much of a UI and I don’t know if the playback will be any different from Jellyfin Media Player. Same thing about playback goes for JellyPlayer.

You mean something better than Jellyfin Media Player? It works pretty great for me on my Mac. Some people like Jellyfin-MPV-Shim but I don’t think it’s much of a UI.

As others have said, MPV Shim is another option on PC that also uses the same player as JMP. It has more options too that you use for the player like enabling shaders, video aspect ratio changes, volume gain changes, and so forth. Though it works as a hidden player that only appears when you cast to it.

Support IPv6 addressing with a protocol prefix (#306)

Fix endless video skipping with auto profiles. (#323)

I'm wondering if there is a bug in the Jellyfin server that is causing remote control connections to get lost. I had to put some really aggressive self-healing logic into MPV Shim to get it to stay connected reliably. This doesn't exist in web so JMP may suffer these reliability issues.

I use Jellyfin MPV Shim with uosc and thumbfast.

For VLC I don't know, but with MPC-HC you can use madVR [0]. My preferred setup is mpv [1] with a few shaders [2] such as FSRCNNX [3] and Krig Bilateral.

Both are IMO sharper and more accurate than ACNet.

FSRCNN-TensorFlow

Not sure if there is anything newer, but FSRCNNX is probably the highest quality, upscaling only, shader.

You can of course use other shaders like Nvidia's Image Scaling or the popular FSRCNN (not to be confused with AMD's FSR).

As for shaders...well, it depends on what ye are searching for. In general using shaders can be a tad overkill, but in any case I would recommend using FSRCNNX for upscaling, SSimDownscaler for downscaling, and KrigBilateral for chroma. DO NOTE, you will need a relatively powerful CPU (or GPU, depending on your config) to run “heavy” shaders.

These features are not unique to madVR, as mpv also has debanding and "AI" based upscaling, along with their compression removing variants.
