The getPlaybackDestination function in PlaybackLauncher is supposed to choose the destination. Adding a new getExternalPlayer function is against that concept.

I'm also not convinced we need this feature. If you want to use an external player you can configure that in the app settings.

Definitively something I would like to see again (pretty sure it did exist in the past), few another request are based on this one.
IMHO this has few use cases, i,e playing video not well supported by the default player, and external player would definitively help especially if Jellyfin does not have transcoding enabled.

PlaybackLauncher

Just curious what do you have in mind as alternative if adding a new getExternalPlayer function is against the concept of getPlaybackDestination function in PlaybackLauncher supposed to choose the destination?
Would you mind clarifying?

This would be a super nice feature, because sometimes random outlier movies/episodes might not function with the built-in player and it can save SO MUCH time of going in/out of the advanced video player settings to toggle external player on and then off later. PLEASE consider it
