Jellyfin for Kodi
Part of the Jellyfin Project
| :warning: Python 2 deprecation (Kodi 18 Leia and older) |
|
Kodi installs based on Python 2 are no longer supported
going forward.
Our informal support target is current release±1,
which currently translates to Matrix (old), Nexus (current) and Omega (next).
The major version of Jellyfin for Kodi will be bumped for the first release without Python 2 support. |
A whole new way to manage and view your media library.
The Jellyfin for Kodi add-on combines the best of Kodi - ultra smooth navigation, beautiful UIs and playback of any file under the sun, and Jellyfin - the most powerful open source multi-client media metadata indexer and server. You can now retire your MySQL setup in favor of a more flexible setup.
Synchronize your media on your Jellyfin server to the native Kodi database, browsing your media at full speed, while retaining the ability to use other Kodi add-ons to enhance your experience. In addition, you can use any Kodi skin you'd like!
