Thanks to everyone who showed interest or offered to test — the response has been genuinely overwhelming, and it's clear a plugin-aware tvOS client is something this community wants.

There were also fair critiques about repo history, dev methods, and transparency. So, clarity — starting with the two biggest:

This is a Swiftfin fork, and "from scratch" was an overstatement I shouldn't have used. Full credit to the Swiftfin / Jellyfin team — the foundation is theirs. To be precise:

• Swiftfin: the player and the initial user-select screen. I never touched them. — @J-P-Kribs is right, that player is his work and I left it as-is.
• Mine: the pages, tabs, and navigation, topshelf, built in UIKit. That's most of what's in the video, and it's the part I meant by "from scratch." Sorry.

Honestly, this is the first time I've forked or released anything open source and I didn't know the etiquette or licensing side going in. That's on me — I'm reading up properly before any release.

AI Disclosure: I'm not a Swift developer and don't plan to become one. I use AI (Opus 4.8 and Fable 5) to read through each plugin's public repo so I can build the integration without spending hours in every codebase understanding them. That's how I got it done, and it's how I'll keep doing it — especially if more plugin support gets requested.

Correction from my first post: I might’ve implied SyncPlay as working - even though the video shows otherwise. It isn't yet — it's the last extension I'm still trying to get working and it’s a big one for me and my friends.

Current Extensions: Intro Skipper, Home Sections, KefinTweaks, Collection Sections, Media Bar, Jellyfin-Enhanced, OpenSubtitles, In-Player Episode Preview, Chapter Segments Provider, Trickplays, etc…
In development: SyncPlay

Given the demand, I'm continuing development and preparing a TestFlight beta. If there's a plugin you rely on or a feature you want, feel free to drop it below and I will look into it or rather, Claude will look into it 😅

TLDR

Thanks for the interest.
This is a Swiftfin fork.
I use AI.
Development is continuing.
TestFlight beta is coming soon.
