Update: Yamtrack is great, thanks for the suggestion! I haven’t gotten the webhook to work yet though but I haven’t had much time to troubleshoot.

I might give Yamtrack a try, thank you!

Nowadays I only really use Jellyfin, but before that I exclusively used mpv. As for why, I just felt it worked a bit better (not sure if it has to do with codecs) and I liked how it suited terminal based workflows.
