A README-only list of Emby-compatible client apps, maintained by a single person and shared via Telegram. It catalogs 33 players with platform support matrices — no code, no tooling, just links and checkmarks. The audience is Chinese-speaking Emby users hunting for client alternatives.
The platform compatibility matrix is immediately scannable — you can find an iOS+tvOS client in seconds without opening 10 app store pages. The maintainer marks their personal picks with ☆, which is an honest signal about what actually gets used. It's actively updated (last push August 2025) and covers some obscure clients that don't show up in English-language discussions.
There is no code here — this is a document, not a repository, and GitHub is a strange home for it. Several download links go to Telegram channels rather than stable release pages, which breaks the moment the channel is reorganized. There's no description of what differentiates one client from another beyond platform support, so you still have to try each one to know which handles hardware decoding or subtitles better. The whole thing falls apart if the maintainer loses interest — no contributors, no issues, no forks doing meaningful work.
