### Structure & usage

&emsp;

Jellyfin is an open-source project to offer a media server that can be easily [[Server Cloud|self-hosted]]. The project is therefore articulated around a server and a suite of clients for different platforms.

&emsp:

#### Server

The server points towards file repositories within the server it is installed on but does not manage the upload phase.
It offers the following features:
1. Organisation of the media files (video, audio, pictures)
2. Generation of automatic lists (currently watching, next to watch, etc…)
3. Fetching metadata including covers and posters
4. Media players are embedded

&emsp;
