Playback free, 4K HDR included. tvOS 17 and later Apple TV HD, Apple TV 4K v1.1.6

Made for the way you already use Apple TV.

01

Direct Play

H.264, HEVC, AV1, VP9, MKV, MP4. The Apple TV decodes everything itself, so your server doesn't transcode for you.

02

Pin code sign-in

Jellyfin Quick Connect or plex.tv/link. Approve a short code from any browser. No typing passwords on a remote.

03

Multi-server

Add every Jellyfin and Plex server you run. Search and browse across all of them at the same time.

04

4K and HDR10

Full 2160p playback with HDR10 metadata on Apple TV 4K.

05

Siri Remote

Touch surface gestures for scrubbing and skipping. Long press for info, swipe for chapters.

06

Live TV

Tune into the channels your Jellyfin or Plex server already serves, with the same player and remote bindings.

If your library has it, Trovu plays it.

Direct play covers the formats most Jellyfin and Plex libraries actually contain. The Apple TV silicon does the decoding, so the server only has to hand over the bytes.
