so, was installing the usual jellyfin-media-player flatpak on a new install as I did so many times, mistyped and was presented with a list of jellyfin related apps. there’s a new Jellyfin Desktop app in there that def wasn’t there before, has the official sounding org.jellyfin.JellyfinDesktop id.
installed it, looks the same. haven’t caught that in the news feeds I follow, so what’s the story there, what’s different from the iwalton3 thingy?
$ flatpak install jellyfin
Looking for matches…

please reread what I am asking, mpv-shim is a totally different thing and not mentioned in the question.
Oh, sorry.
Jellyfin Desktop is the new client, they rebranded it. Version 2.0.0.
Jellfin Media player is old, last updated 11 months ago, version 1.12.0.
Both are official, but Jellyfin Media Player will soon stop working, as the server updates.
