Library navigation across devices
Open server libraries from ARVIO's Library page on Android TV, mobile or the optional browser companion without rebuilding the server organization.
Home server integration
Bring your Jellyfin library into ARVIO.
Connect a Jellyfin server you are authorized to use, then browse its libraries and media versions in the free Android app or optional ARVIO Web on iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac, Apple TV and compatible browsers.
Connected, not copied
Your server stays in control.
ARVIO reads permitted library information and playable media from Jellyfin. Server access rules, user permissions and media availability continue to come from Jellyfin.
Recently added
See recent server additions in a focused view while retaining the familiar ARVIO card and details experience.
Media versions
When Jellyfin reports several files or versions, ARVIO can present them as separate playback choices instead of hiding alternatives.
Progress and watched state
Playback updates the connected server where supported, while optional Trakt or Simkl integration can maintain a broader tracking history.
Secure token storage
Server access tokens are stored using ARVIO's encrypted credential storage on supported Android devices.
Device-aware playback
ARVIO attempts compatible playback while Jellyfin remains available to transcode formats that the Android device cannot direct play.
Connection flow
Three parts, one library view.
Prepare Jellyfin
Confirm the server is reachable from the device and that your Jellyfin user can access the intended libraries.
Connect in settings
Add Jellyfin as a home server and complete the server's supported sign-in or code flow.
Open Library
Select Jellyfin, choose a library and browse the titles the connected user is permitted to see.
Playback depends on the full path
A working Jellyfin connection does not guarantee direct play for every file. Container, video codec, audio codec, subtitle format, server transcoding, bandwidth and device support all matter. ARVIO does not modify your media files.
Common questions
Jellyfin and ARVIO FAQ
Does ARVIO replace the Jellyfin server?
No. Jellyfin remains responsible for your library, user accounts and media access. ARVIO is a compatible client and media management interface.
Can ARVIO show different versions of Jellyfin media?
ARVIO can expose versions returned by the Jellyfin server so you can choose among available files. Results depend on server metadata and permissions.
Will every Jellyfin file direct play?
Not necessarily. Direct play depends on the device, codec, container, audio format, subtitles, network and server configuration. Jellyfin may need to transcode unsupported media.
Can ARVIO access Jellyfin on iPhone, iPad, Windows and Mac?
Yes, through the optional ARVIO Web browser companion. The Android app remains free, while browser playback depends on the formats supported by the device and browser.
