For a more privacy focused solution I use Freetube on my Steamdeck. It has some drawbacks, but worth it if you are trying to reduce your online footprint.
Hmm. There was this picture in picture decky plug-in that you can watch any website video in. While gaming in game-mode. Something like that for local video’s would be nice.
That can work with any website, so you can probably just install jellyfin, have your local media hosted at 127.0.0.1:8188, and play that in the picture in picture plugin.
Is it available on Ubuntu?
It’s distributed through flatpak, so yes, it’s available on Ubuntu or any linux distro that supports flatpak.
It is focused on controller support, so it might not be ideal for an ubuntu desktop computer, but that just depends on your use case.
