About Jellyfin

Jellyfin is the free software media system built by the community for media enthusiasts who want complete control over their entertainment. Unlike proprietary streaming services that track your viewing habits and lock your content behind subscription walls, Jellyfin lets you organize and stream your entire media library from a server you own and control. Support for live TV with DVR capabilities, hardware-accelerated transcoding for seamless playback on any device, and a rich ecosystem of mobile apps make Jellyfin the ultimate sovereign media solution. With no tracking, no ads, and no corporate overlords deciding what you can watch, Jellyfin puts your media freedom first while delivering a streaming experience that rivals commercial alternatives.
