When playing Jellyfin off an Nvidia Shield TV, is it possible to set a default external video player per TV series?

As the title says, is it possible to set the default video player to use per TV series? I tend to switch between MXPlayer and JustPlayer depending on the content (JustPlayer for most content and MXPlayer for some sub heavy content). However, it's annoying to have to select the player every time I start an episode. Additionally, this makes playing a show on shuffle in the background pretty tedious.

Would it be possible to have it so that show A always just plays using JustPlayer and show B always plays using MXPlayer?

  • AFAIK, this is not a thing. I don't recall seeing any discussions about making this a thing.

    @[email protected] On the home screen, go to the gear in the top right, in Playback you can select the player. Either auto or specifically select a player. There is a separate setting at the bottom of Playback to set a different player for live TV.

    • My only available options are

      • "Automatically choose"
      • "ExoPlayer"
      • "LibVLC (experimental)"
      • "External app"
      • "Always ask"

      And ExoPlayer is the one already selected. Do I need to manually install JustPlayer and/or MXPlayer on the Shield?

      Edit: Found 'em in the Play Store and installed them to the Shield. šŸ‘
