## What is Trovu?

Trovu brings your personal Jellyfin and Plex libraries to a fast, familiar player made for touch.

Connect your server, choose something to watch or listen to, and press play. Browse in portrait or landscape, explore your collection, and pick up where you left off.

PLAY MORE. TRANSCODE LESS.

Trovu plays most common media formats directly on your device, reducing the need for server transcoding. Supported formats include H.264, HEVC, AV1, VP9, MKV, MP4, WebM, and more.

Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, AAC, FLAC, and other common audio formats are supported. DTS and TrueHD audio is automatically decoded when needed. Embedded and server-provided subtitles are supported in formats including SRT, ASS, PGS, and VTT.

You don't need to know anything about codecs or containers. Press play and Trovu handles the rest.
