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:

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

environment.systemPackages = [

pkgs.jellyfin-desktop

];

}

}}

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.
