Nettle 0.3.1 — beta

A fast, beautiful Jellyfin client for Windows and Linux, built on mpv. Direct play only: Nettle never asks your server to transcode.

Note

Nettle used to be called Slopfin. Already on Slopfin 0.1 or 0.2? Settings → Updates → Check now brings you straight to this version, and your settings and saved sign-ins come along. Read about the name change.

Warning

The Linux build is untested for a short while. The Linux test bench is being reconfigured, so this release was only tested by hand on Windows. The Linux AppImage still passes the automated decode tests on clean Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Arch machines. If you're on Linux, a test report would really help.

What's new in 0.3.1: easier setup

You now only ever type your server's IP, your username and your password.

  • Pick http or https, then type just the IP. Nettle adds Jellyfin's port for you: 8096 for http, 8920 for https. You can still type :port for a different one, or a full address like https://jellyfin.example.com.
  • Live TV and Requests set themselves up. After you sign in, Nettle looks on the same machine as your Jellyfin server, with the same http / https, for NostalgiaTV (port 19850) and Seerr (port 5055), and connects whichever it finds.
    • Seerr is signed in with the Jellyfin username and password you just entered. The password is passed to Seerr once and never stored.
    • If neither is there, you just get Jellyfin, as before. This happens in the background after sign-in, gives up after a few seconds, and never shows an error.
    • Anything you already set up in Settings is left alone. Quick Connect has no password, so then only Seerr's address is filled in and you sign in to Seerr once in Settings.

Privacy: the only extra connections are to those two ports on your Jellyfin server's own machine, right after you sign in.

Install on Windows

  1. Download Nettle-win-Setup.exe below and run it. It installs for your user only, with no admin rights needed.
  2. Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" because Nettle isn't code-signed yet. Click More info → Run anyway.

Prefer not to install? Use Nettle-win-Portable.zip.

Install on Linux

  1. Download Nettle.AppImage below and make it executable (right-click → Properties → Allow executing as program, or chmod +x Nettle.AppImage).
  2. Double-click it. Nettle offers to add itself to your applications menu.

Which file do I download?

You're on Download
Windows Nettle-win-Setup.exe (or Nettle-win-Portable.zip to run without installing)
Linux Nettle.AppImage

Ignore the other files. The .nupkg and .json files and RELEASES are read by the built-in updater. They keep the old internal name (SlopfinApp) so existing installs keep finding their updates. "Source code" is added by GitHub to every release.

Both builds include mpv and the libraries it uses (FFmpeg, libplacebo and others), unmodified. Their licenses and source locations are listed in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
