QUALITY

Auto is the default and it measures, not guesses: the app meters the link to each server, remembers it, and opens at what the link carries with original quality as the ceiling. Settings shows the measurement and what it carries. The fixed presets (480p to 4K) act as ceilings for the sessions your server converts.

CONNECT IN SECONDS

- Scan Network sweeps your local subnet and lists every Jellyfin server it finds, nothing to type
- Quick Connect: approve from any Jellyfin app, no passwords on the remote
- Or type just an IP; protocol and port are found automatically

THE ENGINE

Most files play exactly as stored: H.264 and HEVC from any container (MKV, MP4, AVI, WMV, TS), HDR10 and HLG included, and AV1 on the devices that decode it. Dolby Digital, Digital Plus and Atmos pass through untouched, so Atmos stays Atmos. TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD Master Audio, PCM and FLAC are carried losslessly, 7.1 and 6.1 keep every channel, 24-bit stays 24-bit. 

Older formats convert on the device itself: DivX 3, Theora, RealVideo, Cinepak, DV, VVC/H.266, ProRes and the rest of the long tail, 10-bit and interlaced sources included. Image subtitles (PGS, DVD/VobSub, DVB, XSUB) are decoded on the device and drawn over the video. Your server only transcodes the rare cases nothing else covers.

PRIVACY

No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Credentials stay in the device Keychain. Video streams directly from your server to your device.

Tomo TV is a free, open-source, independent client for Jellyfin and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Jellyfin project. Jellyfin is a trademark of its respective owner.

### 5/5 — Great and Simple UI. Media Plays Great!

*2026-08-24*

The UI is simple and sleek! Nothing too extra, but not too limited either. Having chapters would be great next add-on. 
I was able to run the app on my MacBook M3 Pro running MacOS 27.0 Beta as well. When porting to Mac, adding keyboard shortcuts would be awesome, TIA!
