jellyfin/Swiftfin
Swiftfin
Swiftfin is a native Jellyfin media client for iOS and tvOS. It is a SwiftUI mobile application designed for streaming and browsing movies, music, and shows from a Jellyfin server.
The application utilizes native Apple frameworks for hardware-accelerated decoding and includes an AVKit media player. This integration enables system-level color management for HDR to SDR conversion and supports native Apple ecosystem features such as picture-in-picture and external display output.
The client provides tools for browsing and managing home media libraries, routing audio wirelessly, and adjusting playback settings. It handles remote video streaming and the synchronization of media collections through a remote server.
Features
- Home Media Streaming Clients - Serves as a dedicated native client for streaming media libraries from a home Jellyfin server.
- Declarative UI Frameworks - Built as a native SwiftUI mobile application using a state-driven declarative framework for a responsive user interface.
- Personal Media Playback - Streams movies, TV shows, and music from a personal library to Apple devices.
- Client-Side Data Binding - Synchronizes local application state with a remote media server by consuming JSON endpoints over HTTP.
- Media Content Navigation - Provides a navigation system for exploring movies, shows, and music collections organized by content type.
- Media Content Streaming - Executes playback of video, audio, and subtitle files using native players and compatible codecs.
- Remote Media Streaming - Streams movies, music, and shows from a remote Jellyfin server using integrated native players.
- Video Streaming - Provides a native client for delivering and managing high-quality video content streams from a remote server.
- Hardware-Accelerated Playback - Utilizes native Apple frameworks for hardware-accelerated video decoding and high-performance rendering on iOS and tvOS.
- Apple TV Applications - Provides a native client optimized for both iOS and Apple TV hardware.
- Apple Native Players - Implements a video player using AVKit for hardware-accelerated decoding and native HDR to SDR mapping.
- Mobile Display Streaming - Outputs media from a mobile device to televisions or external monitors for a larger viewing experience.
- SwiftUI - Builds a responsive, state-driven user interface using the SwiftUI framework.
- Native Apple Media Integrations - Integrates native Apple frameworks for hardware-accelerated playback, picture-in-picture, and external display output.
- MVVM Patterns - Employs the Model-View-ViewModel pattern to separate server-side business logic from the declarative user interface.
- Color Management Systems - Leverages system-level color management to map high dynamic range metadata for compatible display hardware.
- HDR-to-SDR Color Conversions - Provides native mapping of high dynamic range metadata to standard range for compatible displays.
- External Display Management - Streams media content to external monitors or televisions using native Apple display support and mirroring.
- Picture-in-Picture Interfaces - Supports video playback in a detached, floating window to allow interaction with other applications.
- Playback Setting Toggles - Provides interfaces to modify playback speed, aspect ratio, and audio tracks during media playback.
- Media Players - Native client for self-hosted media servers.
