You can access Jellyfin and play your media through a [web browser](./web-application.md) if you prefer, rather than install an app.

Instructions

MacOS or Windows

Before proceeding, make sure your device has been setup to connect over LAN. If you are connecting remotely, you will need to connect over a router VPN or setup Tor.

  1. Download the .dmg file (MacOS) or the .exe file (Windows) for Jellyfin Media Player.

  2. Upon opening the client, you will be prompted to add server. Click "Add Server".

  3. Next you will be prompted for a server address; paste the URL (.local recommended) from Jellyfin service interfaces (Services -> Jellyfin -> Interfaces) and click "Connect".

  4. Next enter your username and password and click "Sign In".
