### Overview
Features
Jellyfin is a comprehensive, free software media system that places the power of managing and streaming your media in your hands. It serves as an open-source alternative to proprietary solutions like Emby and Plex, delivering media from a dedicated server to end-user devices through various applications.
Born from Emby's 3.5.2 release, Jellyfin has been ported to the .NET Core framework to ensure full cross-platform support. This means you can access and manage your media content across multiple devices seamlessly. There is no premium license required or hidden features; Jellyfin operates on transparency and user control.
With Jellyfin, there are no hidden agendas – just a dedicated team striving to build something superior and working collaboratively to make it happen. We're always open to new members joining our quest for an upgraded media experience!
