A Jellyfin alternative for real-world internet

Jellyfin is a great free project. Silux Media keeps what people love — free, self-hosted, private — and focuses on streaming smoothly when the connection isn't.

Differences that matter on slow lines

  • Quality adapts every 3 seconds instead of one bitrate per session
  • AV1/HEVC with Opus by default
  • About 1.0 GB/hour at 1080p vs 2.5 GB in our tests
  • Optional managed remote access (Plus) — no port forwarding

Questions

Is Silux Media open source?

No. The self-hosted server is free to use; Jellyfin is open source if that's what you need.
