<strong>[https://jellyfin.org/ Jellyfin]</strong><ref name="jellyfin">Jellyfin Project, "Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System", Official Website, Accessed October 2025. https://jellyfin.org/</ref> is a free and open-source media server that enables users to manage and stream their personal media libraries across various devices. It consists of the Jellyfin Server and multiple client applications including Jellyfin Media Player and a web interface.

== Installation ==

== Client Installation ==

Jellyfin is available both via the web interface, and through a desktop application.

If you would like to install the desktop application, use the following:

{{Warning|Currently in NixOS 25.11, jellyfin-media-player is marked as insecure as it depends on a vulnerable version of qtwebengine (v5.15.19). Until this is fixed, you may want to use the Jellyfin web client instead. For fix status, see: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/437865}}

{{code|lang=nix|line=no|1={

environment.systemPackages = [

pkgs.jellyfin-media-player

];

}

}}

Alternatively, you can use the Jellyfin web client by using your preferred web browser to visit the server directly. See below on how to install the Jellyfin server.

== Server Installation ==

Line 272:

This triggers a rebuild of the Jellyfin package. After applying, select "Intel QuickSync (QSV)" in the Jellyfin settings for hardware-accelerated transcoding with minimal CPU load.

On NixOS 25.11 and newer (specifically since [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/424061 this PR]), <code>vpl</code> support in FFmpeg is enabled by default, so there is no need to use an overlay.
