moodiness/polyfin

Polyfin is a self-hosted server that speaks the Jellyfin API. It turns Stremio addons, music addons, IPTV sources and your own folders into libraries that any Jellyfin app plays, with real user accounts and transcoding, and without Jellyfin installed.

What you get

• Your addons as libraries: Stremio catalogs become libraries and collections, and their streams become versions of a title, torrents too once you turn them on. Addons, Libraries, Torrents
• Your own files: folders on the server, SMB and WebDAV shares, S3 buckets, SFTP servers and rclone remotes. Local folders, Naming and matching files
• Live TV and IPTV: M3U playlists, Xtream Codes accounts and HDHomeRun tuners, with a programme guide, recordings and Replay. Live TV, IPTV sources, HDHomeRun tuners
• Music, audiobooks and podcasts: Eclipse music addons become music and book libraries. Music, audiobooks and podcasts
• Real accounts: each user has their own watch state, limits and parental control, and can bring their history from Jellyfin, Emby or Plex. Users and permissions, Moving to Polyfin
• Transcoding on your GPU: direct play when the app can, else repackaging or conversion on an NVIDIA, AMD or Intel GPU or VideoToolbox, HDR tone mapping included. Transcoding, GPUs and HDR
• Built in: the web player, the admin app, skip buttons, tracking, DLNA, notifications, statistics and backups. Documentation
• Six languages: the admin app, Polyfin's own names and messages, its additions to the web player and Polyfin Desktop speak English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.
