Streamyfin is a 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: Lets you quickly skip intros and credits during playback
• 🖼️ Trickplay images: The new golden standard for chapter previews when seeking
• 📥 Download media: Save your media locally and watch it offline
• ⚙️ Settings management: Manage app configurations for all users through our plugin
• 🤖 Seerr (formerly Jellyseerr) integration: Request media directly in the app
• 👁️ Sessions view: View all active sessions currently streaming on your server
• 📡 Chromecast: Cast your media to any Chromecast-enabled device

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 lets you download and watch any content that you can stream. The conversion is handled in real time by Jellyfin on the server during the download. While this may take a bit longer, it ensures compatibility with any file your server can transcode.

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:

• Automatic Seerr login with no user input required
• Set your preferred default languages
• Configure download method and search provider
• Personalize your home screen
• And much more

Chromecast support is currently under development. Video casting is already available, and we're actively working on adding subtitle support and additional features.

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 grants you immediate access to the ⁠🧪-beta-releases channel on Discord and lets me know you’ve subscribed. This is where I share APKs and IPAs. It does not provide automatic TestFlight access, so please send me a DM (Cagemaster) with the email you use for Apple so we can add you manually.

Note: Anyone actively contributing to Streamyfin’s source code will receive automatic access to beta releases.

• Your device is on the same network as the Jellyfin server (for local connections)
• Your Jellyfin server is up and running with remote access enabled if you plan to connect from outside your local network
• Your server version is up to date (older versions may cause compatibility issues)
• You have a valid Jellyfin user account with access to the media libraries you want to view
• If using features such as downloads or Seerr integration, confirm the required plugins are installed and configured on 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
