v1.8.1 - Maintenance & Plugin Update
This version is primarily for updating dependency versions such as the web client and MPV, which notably is now up to date and compiling properly for Windows whereas it used to be pinned to a 2021 release.
Additionally experimental support for Skip Intro and Jellyscrub is included. You need to install these unofficial plugins to your Jellyfin server manually and enable support in client settings. Support is implemented in the form of separate plugins which I have adapted from the original web client modifications so that the integration is cleaner.
Note: Adding support for this is intended to alleviate the alternative which is people manually patching the client. Please do not bother other Jellyfin client maintainers to add unofficial plugin support. In the event that official Jellyfin functionality replaces unofficial plugins or renders them unusable, unofficial plugins will be dropped.
Changes:
- Update web client to 10.8.9.
- Add support for Jellyscrub and Skip Intro. (Must be enabled manually, requires third-party plugins.)
