I was able to get jellyfin videoplayback working on CarPlay, with the APTV app in the App Store.

Please be sensible and use only when the car is in park!

Guide:
After downloading APTV, connect to CarPlay and open the APTV app on the CarPlay screen. Hop over to the "quick" tab, select the browser option and visit your jellyfin server URL.
I recommend saving the page as a bookmark
AFTER you log in to your jellyfin for easy access and so you don't have to keep logging
in.

Hey there, it's the developer of Pelagica!

if you don't know Pelagica: It's a Web, Desktop and TV client for Jellyfin I've been building for almost a year now. Until now every platform Pelagica supports has been sharing the same core code with a slightly different interface or backend. This changed now with the official client for Apple TV! Since I mainly watch on my Apple TV, I obviously also want to use my own client on there too >:)

The client is a completely seperate codebase written in Swift with SwiftUI and uses VLCKit for the player so you can throw pretty much anything at it and it will be direct playing it.

The client already has all the features the Tizen and webOS client have with additional support for Profiles (which will come to Tizen and webOS too) and better scrubbing with trickplay.

Like the other TV clients, it respects your Pelagica config made in the web app and follows the same design with a few adjustments to fit the Apple TV aesthetic.

Of course as with the rest of Pelagica, it's completely open source licensed under GPL-3.0: https://github.com/PelagicaApp/pelagica-atv

You can download the app on the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/pelagica/id6811079730

That's about it :)
