Hi everyone!

A quick update on ParallaxTV since my last post.

I've just released **v0.1.1-alpha**, which is the biggest update so far. The main focus of this release was completely redesigning the UI and making the app feel much more polished.

✨ Highlights:

• Complete UI overhaul

• New sidebar navigation

• New Discover page

• Favorites & Recently Added pages

• Episode Details page

• Notification panel

• Improved player controls & overlays

• Better recommendations and media browsing

• Lots of UI polish, bug fixes and performance improvements

Thanks to everyone who tried the previous alpha and shared feedback—it directly influenced many of the improvements in this release.

I'd love to hear what you think!

Project Name:

ParallaxTV

Repo/Website Link:

https://github.com/parallaxtv/ParallaxTV

Description:

ParallaxTV is an open-source Jellyfin desktop client built with Tauri, React, TypeScript, Rust, and MPV.

Before anything else, I want to say that I have a lot of respect for the Jellyfin team and the official clients. I know many people are perfectly happy with the official Jellyfin applications, and that's completely valid.

I also know there's a growing number of AI-assisted projects appearing every day, which understandably makes some people skeptical.

ParallaxTV wasn't originally intended to be a public project. I started building it for myself because I wanted a desktop experience that better matched the way I personally use Jellyfin, especially for anime, TV shows, and long-form media consumption.

As development continued, the project grew into something much larger than I originally planned. After months of work and iteration, I felt it had reached a point where it might be useful to other Jellyfin users, which is why I'm sharing it publicly.

This project isn't trying to replace the official clients. If the official apps already do everything you need, that's awesome. ParallaxTV is simply another option for people who might enjoy a different desktop experience.

Current features include:

• Native MPV playback
• Continue Watching
• Up Next
• Favorites
• AniList integration
• Anime voice actor pages
• Discovery and recommendations
• Intro/Outro skipping
• Next Episode autoplay
• Playback statistics
• Settings page

The project is currently in Alpha and feedback is highly appreciated.

Deployment:

Prebuilt Windows installers are available through GitHub Releases:

https://github.com/parallaxtv/ParallaxTV/releases

Documentation and setup instructions are available in the repository README.

AI Involvement:

AI played a significant role in the development of ParallaxTV. I do not come from a professional software engineering background and relied heavily on AI as a development assistant throughout the project.

AI was used for architecture discussions, debugging, implementation guidance, refactoring, documentation, and learning unfamiliar technologies.

While AI assisted with the technical side of development, the overall vision, feature planning, UI/UX design, testing, iteration, and product direction were driven by me. The project began as a personal Jellyfin client built for my own use and gradually evolved into something I felt was worth sharing with the community.

I'm sharing this project to gather feedback from the Jellyfin community and learn what works, what doesn't, and what could be improved.

Whether you decide to try it or not, thanks for taking the time to read about the project.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a passion project I’ve been working on called Jellyflix. I've always wanted a Jellyfin client that feels like a premium streaming service right out of the box, so I decided to build my own.

The best part? No server plugins are needed. You just install the app on Windows (or use the web UI), connect to your server, and it instantly transforms your library.

Here’s what I have built so far (check out the attached images):

• Dynamic Hero Banner: Automatically highlights newly added, highly rated, or globally trending titles above a clean "Continue Watching" row.
• Deep Metadata & Seamless Browsing: Clean title pages with cast/crew info, multi-season structures, and an automated "More Like This" section.
• Custom Video Player: Features a built-in episode sidebar so you can jump between episodes without leaving the player.

Right now, it's running smoothly on Windows and web, and it will be completely free. If there's enough interest, my next goal is to release dedicated apps for Android and Android TV!

I'm building this from the ground up and would love your suggestions. What features or UI tweaks would you want to see? Let me know what you think!
