Versatile and flexible media server with TV, movies, photos and more.

Jellyfin is a media center that allows its users to gather, control and stream multimedia files from a single place. Unlike other such programs like Plex, Jellyfin guarantees that all the user's multimedia content remains completely private since it never connects to third-party servers.

During playback of audio and video streams, you'll find many interesting options that will make life more comfortable. For example, you can adjust the playback speed, making it slower or faster as required. syncPlay is also an option which allows you to watch movies online with friends

You can run the tool as a reverse proxy behind another server. Installation is quick and easy, especially since the project has many pre-built binary packages. The tool supports all major browsers with which you will be able to configure your server. It should be noted that the application has no built-in tracking functionality and there is no central server collecting your data.?

Jellyfin's goal is to help you gather and manage all your media in one place. Therefore, when you set up the server, you have the ability to browse all your collected data in time and organize it properly.

When configuring the Movies category, you can specify the type of information to be displayed in the dashboard, such as parenting classifications, genres, names, studios, tags, presentation, etc.

To sum it up

Jellyfin is a very powerful media center, which not only offers a spectacular range of features, but also has an elegant and practical interface.
