AI Player is a minimalist desktop media frontend designed specifically for users of Emby and Jellyfin. The application focuses on delivering an immersive and visually refined experience for managing and playing personal media libraries on Windows. It employs the Fluent 2 design language and integrates a high-performance playback engine based on libmpv, supporting hardware decoding and a wide range of mainstream codecs. The platform enables users to seamlessly connect and manage multiple Emby and Jellyfin accounts, with security provided through Windows Credential Manager encryption. Its interface offers an elegant home page with a carousel for featured content and a continue watching list, as well as a comprehensive detail page that displays metadata, cast information, and includes a built-in season browser for series. The media library management features include a responsive grid layout, multi-dimensional filtering, and intelligent sorting, allowing efficient navigation even with large collections. AI Player supports global search across all linked servers, featuring intelligent debouncing and error tolerance for rapid results. Performance is enhanced through a dual-layer local caching strategy and silent preloading, making browsing feel as fast as accessing local files. The playback system allows users to switch between the built-in libmpv player and an external standalone mpv instance, and offers deep customization of keyboard shortcuts and interface themes. Playback progress and favorites are synchronized in real time via cloud, with optimistic UI updates and background reconciliation. The application is built on a robust dual-process architecture, decoupling the UI (rendered with Flutter) from the playback core (WinUI 3 with libmpv), communicating via high-speed HTTP/JSON to ensure smooth video playback even under UI load. Additional features include support for audiobooks and music, with progress tracking and options such as scheduled shutdowns. AI Player is available for Windows as a downloadable application.
