Cause

The issue is that the app browser is using a cached version of the page, which contains an old (pre-update) link to the stylesheet file.
So the browser can't find it and the page doesn't render correctly.

Fix

To fix this you just need to delete the app's browser cache.

I suppose this can be done by uninstalling and then reinstalling the application, or maybe even by pressing SHIFT+F5, though I've not tried that.

Another way to delete the browser cache is by connecting to the web debugger (see how on the project's readme) and doing it from there, for example by going to the network tab of the inspector, right clicking on the list of requests and selecting the "delete cache" option.

I opened the flatpak and right clicked in the window then selected "reload" and that seems to have done it as the web version and the build version now match server version in the dashboard and media plays.

I have no idea if the above method works since it seems, according to the readme, to require a Chromium browser and at least in Firefox, I wasn't able to find any delete cache options or really any options.

For someone that wants to try the above, the command to paste into CLI is;

 flatpak run com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player --remote-debugging-port=9222

which will open the flatpak and return;
DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9222/devtools/ (with some string of characters here)

Yes, that method would require you to have a chromium browser installed and I've included it cause that's the only method I've tested, while trying to find the cause of this issue.
But if you say that just right clicking and pressing reload did the job, then that would be the best way to do this.
