A simple and user-friendly Jellyfin video streaming client built with Expo. If you are looking for an alternative to other Jellyfin clients, we hope you find Streamyfin a useful addition to your media streaming toolbox.
- 🚀 Skip Intro / Credits Support
- 🖼️ Trickplay images: The new golden standard for chapter previews when seeking.
- 📥 Download media (Experimental): Save your media locally and watch it offline.
- 📡 Chromecast (Experimental): Cast your media to any Chromecast-enabled device.
- 📡 Settings management (Experimental): Manage app settings for all your users with a JF plugin.
- 🤖 Jellyseerr integration: Request media directly in the app.
- 👁️ Sessions View: View all active sessions currently streaming on your server.
Streamyfin includes some exciting experimental features like media downloading and Chromecast support. These features are still in development, and your patience and feedback are much appreciated as we work to improve them.
Downloading works by using ffmpeg to convert an HLS stream into a video file on the device. This means that you can download and view any file you can stream! The file is converted by Jellyfin on the server in real time as it is downloaded. This means a bit longer download times but supports any file that your server can transcode.
Chromecast support is still in development, and we're working on improving it. Currently, it supports casting videos, but we're working on adding support for subtitles and other features.
The Jellyfin Plugin for Streamyfin is a plugin you install into Jellyfin that holds all settings for the client Streamyfin. This allows you to synchronize settings across all your users, like for example:
- Auto log in to Jellyseerr without the user having to do anything
- Choose the default languages
- Set download method and search provider
- Customize home screen
- And much more...
Jellysearch now works with Streamyfin! 🚀
A fast full-text search proxy for Jellyfin. Integrates seamlessly with most Jellyfin clients.
Check out our Roadmap To see what we're working on next, we are always open to feedback and suggestions. Please let us know if you have any ideas or feature requests.
Or download the APKs here on GitHub for Android.
To access the Streamyfin beta, you need to subscribe to the Member tier (or higher) on Patreon. This will give you immediate access to the 🧪-public-beta channel on Discord and I'll know that you have subscribed. This is where I post APKs and IPAs. This won't give automatic access to the TestFlight, however, so you need to send me a DM with the email you use for Apple so that I can manually add you.
Note: Everyone who is actively contributing to the source code of Streamyfin will have automatic access to the betas.
- Ensure you have an active Jellyfin server.
- Make sure your device is connected to the same network as your Jellyfin server.
