Jellium Desktop is an unofficial cross-platform desktop client for the Jellyfin media server, built in Rust on top of CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) and the mpv media player. It ships prebuilt binaries for Linux (AppImage, Flatpak, AUR), macOS, and Windows.
Use cases
- watch my jellyfin library on my desktop
- unofficial jellyfin client for linux
- desktop app for streaming movies from my jellyfin server
- jellyfin client with mpv playback
- play media from self-hosted jellyfin on mac or windows
- alternative to jellyfin web in a native desktop window
When to choose
- you run a Jellyfin server and want a dedicated desktop client instead of a browser tab
- you prefer mpv-quality playback with hardware decoding
- you need a client on Linux, macOS, or Windows with prebuilt packages
When to avoid
- you want an officially supported Jellyfin client with guaranteed compatibility
- you need mobile or TV platforms (this is desktop-only)
- you prefer clients like Jellyfin Media Player or a pure web UI
