Jellyfin Web

Part of the Jellyfin Project

---

Jellyfin Web is the frontend used for most of the clients available for end users, such as desktop browsers, Android, and iOS. We welcome all contributions and pull requests! If you have a larger feature in mind please open an issue so we can discuss the implementation before you start. Translations can be improved very easily from our Weblate instance. Look through the following graphic to see if your native language could use some work!

Build Process

Dependencies

• Node.js
• npm (included in Node.js)

Getting Started

3. Run the web client with webpack for local development.

   npm start
   

4. Build the client with sourcemaps available.

   npm run build:development
   

Directory Structure

Note

We are in the process of refactoring to a new structure based on Bulletproof React architecture guidelines. Most new code should be organized under the appropriate app directory unless it is common/shared.
