Streamyfin is a simple, user-friendly Jellyfin video streaming client built with Expo. Designed as an alternative to other Jellyfin clients, it aims to offer a smooth and reliable streaming experience. We hope you'll find it a valuable 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
• 🤖 Seerr (former Jellyseerr) integration: Request media directly in the app
• 👁️ Sessions View: View all active sessions currently streaming on your server

Streamyfin offers exciting experimental features such as media downloading and Chromecast support. These features are under active development, and your feedback and patience help us make them even better.

Downloading works by using ffmpeg to convert an HLS stream into a video file on your device. This allows you to download and watch any content that you can stream. The file is converted by Jellyfin on the server in real time during the download. This may result in slightly longer download times, but it ensures compatibility with any file 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 Seerr without the user having to do anything
• Choose the default languages
• Set download method and search provider
• Customize home screen
• And much more...

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.

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.

1. Q: Why can't I see my libraries in Streamyfin?
   A: Make sure your server is running one of the latest versions and that you have at least one library that isn't audio only.
2. Q: Why can't I see my music library?
   A: We don't currently support music and are unlikely to support music in the near future.
