Adapters

Adapters let outside media clients talk to Aviato by speaking another server's API on top of your Aviato library. The first adapter Aviato ships is compatible with Jellyfin. Turn it on and apps built for Jellyfin can browse, play, and resume your library without a native Aviato client.

Jellyfin adapter

The Jellyfin adapter implements the subset of the Jellyfin REST API exercised by mainstream Jellyfin clients. Scope for the initial release is movies, TV, and music with direct play and remux only. Transcoding, Quick Connect, Live TV, and write operations like playlist editing are not yet supported.

Enabling the adapter

1. Open Settings in the Aviato web UI.
2. Go to Advanced.
3. Toggle Jellyfin adapter on.

The toggle takes effect on the very next request, with no restart required. Once enabled, point your Jellyfin client at your Aviato server's base URL (the same URL you use for the Aviato web UI) and sign in with your Aviato username and password.

Not affiliated with Jellyfin

Aviato is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the Jellyfin project. We deeply appreciate the work the Jellyfin team and community have done, both on the server itself and on the rich ecosystem of clients built around it. The adapter exists so Aviato users can take advantage of those clients, and all credit for the apps below goes to their respective authors.

Tested clients

The following clients have been tested against the Jellyfin adapter:

• Swiftfin. Native SwiftUI client for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS.
• Infuse. Premium media player for Apple platforms with Jellyfin support.
• Plezy. Modern Plex and Jellyfin client for iOS, tvOS, and Android.

Other Jellyfin clients (Findroid, Streamyfin, Finamp, and the official Jellyfin web and mobile apps) should work for the supported feature set, but have not been formally tested. If you hit a compatibility issue with a client not listed above, please open an issue.
