Ultimate Media Player

Ultimate Media Player plays the media you already own. Point it at your own Jellyfin or Plex server, or an SMB, FTP or WebDAV share, and it builds a browsable library with artwork, cast, ratings and subtitles ā with resume positions that follow you between your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Ultimate Media Player includes no content of its own and streams nothing from us. Everything you watch comes from a server or share that you control.
