Media & creativity / OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT GUIDE
Jellyfin
The only algorithm is your taste.
Give your own movies, shows, and music a beautiful home. Stream your collection from your own media server.
Why it matters
A community-built media server with free official clients and no subscription required to unlock server features.
The honest heads-up
Jellyfin does not supply movies, music, or a streaming-service catalogue. You provide the media, storage, and server. Transcoding and remote access can need extra setup.
Your first small step
Install a server on a suitable computer, add your own media, then connect a client.
