winget install --id wolfgangwarehaus.jellytoastAbout jellytoast
jellytoast is a desktop music player for Jellyfin, Navidrome and other Subsonic-compatible servers: bit-perfect playback via mpv, offline downloads, Chromecast/AirPlay/DLNA/Sonos/Snapcast casting, system media keys, scrobbling, smart playlists, and a frosted-glass UI.
What's new in 0.2.1
- Visualizer stops eating CPU when you look away. The audio visualizer kept running in the background after you switched back to lyrics or left the now-playing screen — burning battery for nothing. It now runs only while it's actually on screen. - Big libraries: album art keeps loading instead of stalling. On large collections served by a busy server, cover art could load a handful then stop (or blank out) — the server was choking on resizing every thumbnail. The app now notices a slow server and fetches the original art instead, so the grid fills in reliably. - Flatpak: no more see-through windows when blur is off. On desktops where KDE's blur effect isn't running (hi, Steam Deck), the Flatpak painted clear glass over an unblurred desktop. It now detects that properly and falls back to the regular frosted look. - HTTPS servers play again on Flatpak and the Mac App Store build. The audio engine in those two builds shipped without TLS, so a server behind https (reverse proxy, Tailscale, most remote setups) would browse fine but play nothing — silently. Both builds now speak https. - Flatpak: "Launch at login" actually launches at login. The toggle wrote a startup entry pointing inside the sandbox, which the desktop couldn't run. It now writes the proper flatpak launch command.
