JellyGoose

JellyGoose is a player for the media server you already run. It finds your Jellyfin server on your network, you pick who's watching, and your films and shows are there: big, poster-forward and quick to move through. A HOME THAT SHOWS YOU WHAT'S THERE What you're part-way through leads the screen with its artwork and logo, ready to resume, with Continue Watching, Next Up and the newest in each library beneath it. TAKE IT WITH YOU Download a film, an episode or a whole season to your iPhone or iPad and watch it with no server in reach. Downloads wait for Wi-Fi unless you say otherwise, and where you got to is passed back to your server when you're home. Or have a show's next episodes download by themselves. MUSIC AND AUDIOBOOKS Your server's albums, artists and playlists, with lyrics, Up Next and Instant Mix, playing on in the background and in CarPlay. Audiobooks go chapter by chapter, at your speed, picking up where you stopped. LIVE TV FROM YOUR OWN TUNER Give your server a tuner, an HDHomeRun for one, and JellyGoose adds Live TV: a guide with your channel playing alongside, what's on now on Home, and recording of one showing or a whole series. Pause a channel or go back through it, turn on its captions, start a programme that's still recording from its beginning, skip the marked commercials in a recording, and find what's on from Search. ASK FOR WHAT ISN'T THERE Run Seerr beside your server and JellyGoose adds a Requests section: what's trending and popular. Ask for a film, a show or one season from wherever you are. IT PLAYS WHAT THE SYSTEM PLAYER WON'T H.264 and HEVC go to Apple's own player, where HDR and Dolby Vision belong. AV1, VP9, MPEG-2 and the rest go to a built-in VLC engine, played straight from the original file, so your server never has to re-encode anything. BUILT FOR BIG FILES 4K remuxes start quickly and stay smooth: a film is made ready while you read its page. A Stats button shows which player has the film, and whether your server is converting anything and why. PICTURE IN PICTURE, AND YOUR TV Shrink a film to a corner of the screen and go on browsing. Or play it on an Apple TV running JellyGoose, with your phone as the remote. WATCH TOGETHER Start a group or join one, and a film plays for everyone at the same moment, each on their own screen. LIBRARIES THAT KEEP UP Move through thousands of titles, or jump to any letter. Sort seven ways, either way round. Choose several genres or decades at once, show only what you haven't watched, and each library remembers how you left it. Pin any view to the menu or to Home. SUBTITLES THAT KEEP TIME Pick a subtitle and it's there, on time, in any film. Choose its size, colour, background and height, or nudge its timing. When a film has none, search the internet from the player and it appears without the film restarting. EVERYONE GETS THEIR OWN Everyone who signs in gets a face on the sign-in screen: pick yours and you're in, with your own Continue Watching, watched marks, favourites and library settings, and iCloud carries your settings to your other devices. THE LITTLE THINGS Skip intros, recaps and credits, or have them skipped for you. Each show remembers its audio and subtitles. See the next episode coming as the credits roll. Preview frames while you scrub. Set a sleep timer. Watch a film's trailer. Keep a watchlist of films. Ask Siri to carry on, add widgets to your Home Screen, and find a film from Spotlight. MAKE IT YOURS Six colour schemes, one a true black for OLED, six app icons, and Home's rows in the order you choose. In nine languages. NOTHING PHONES HOME No accounts, no subscription, no analytics, no advertising, no third parties. JellyGoose talks to your own servers and nowhere else, apart from asking your own network where they are during setup. Requires your own Jellyfin server. Free to try for 7 days, then one purchase unlocks it here and on Apple TV. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Jellyfin project.
