About the App

Designed for people who want their collections organized and available at their fingertips, Jellyfin gives you the control to stream your favorite media straight from your own server. Whether you’re chilling on the couch, catching up on episodes, or showing off vacation pics, this app’s got you covered. And if you prefer using BlueStacks, it works smoothly there too.

App Features

  • Personal Media Streaming
    Stream everything from blockbuster movies to that funny video you filmed last summer, all directly from your own Jellyfin server. Your collection, your rules.

  • Live TV and Recordings
    Want to keep up with live sports or record your favorite shows? Jellyfin lets you watch live TV or access recordings right from the app (just a heads-up, extra hardware or services might be needed for this).
