Welcome to the Jellyfin wiki!

Jellyfin is a free software media system that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. It is a free software alternative to Emby and Plex, to provide media from a dedicated server to end-user devices.

Jellyfin is descended from Emby 3.5.2, ported to the .NET Core framework, and aims to contain build facilities for every platform.

Issues and Feature Requests

While our first priority is a stable build, we will eventually add features that were missing in Emby or were not well implemented (technically or philosophically). During this time, we will continue to fix issues wherever possible.
