Building for Windows
Please install:
- cmake - cmake-3.20.0-windows-x86_64.msi
- Add cmake to the path.
- ninja
- Place this in the build directory.
- QT
- This package is huge. You also need to make a QT account...
- Check "MSVC 2019 64-bit" and "Qt WebEngine" under QT 5.15.2.
- VS2019 Build Tools
- Again this will use a lot of disk space. The installer is small though.
- libmpv1
- Place the contents in the build directory, in a subfolder called
mpv
. - Move the contents of the
include
folder to anmpv
folder inside theinclude
folder. - Move the
mpv-1.dll
tompv.dll
.
- Place the contents in the build directory, in a subfolder called
- WIX
You need to run these commands in git bash.
git clone https://github.com/iwalton3/jellyfin-media-player
cd jellyfin-media-player
./download_webclient.sh
cd build
Open the "x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019". cd
to the build
directory. Run:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=ninja.exe -DQTROOT=C:/Qt/5.15.2/msvc2019_64 -DMPV_INCLUDE_DIR=mpv/include -DMPV_LIBRARY=mpv/mpv.dll -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output ..
lib /def:mpv\mpv.def /out:mpv\mpv.dll.lib /MACHINE:X64

Building for MacOS
Install QT 5.15.2, remember to check Qt WebEngine
.
Then run the following commands (replace <QT_DIR> with your QT installation location):
brew install mpv ninja
./download_webclient.sh
cd build
cmake -GNinja -DQTROOT=<QT_DIR> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output ..
ninja install
