A media server for your own films, shows and music.

Jellyfin streams the video and music you own to any device in your home, or beyond it, from a server you run. It is a volunteer project, free, and it has no tracking.
You need your own files and a computer to host them, so it is for people who already have a library, and Delivery is a 3.
- Streams your own films and music from your own server
- Volunteer made, free and open source
