**Jellyfin** is the primary video streaming service for **The Nest**. Similar to commercial streaming platforms like Netflix or Hulu, Jellyfin allows you to stream movies, TV series, and documentaries on demand across all your devices.
* **Submit Requests:** You can request new titles through **[Seerr](../media-requests/seerr.md)**!
* **Automated Sync:** Once requested, media moves through our automated ingest pipeline and automatically populates in Jellyfin.
* **Library Scans:** Jellyfin scans for new media regularly. If a newly approved request doesn't appear immediately, please wait up to 24 hours for automated library indexing. If content is still missing after 24 hours, reach out to an administrator on Matrix.
* **Subtitle Options & Syncing:** Subtitles can be enabled directly inside the video player. If subtitle timing feels slightly out of sync, many clients (including the Web browser player) allow you to adjust the **Subtitle Offset** in the player settings to align dialogue perfectly.
* **Bandwidth & Quality Controls:** If you are on a limited mobile data connection, you can adjust your streaming bitrate and resolution per-device in your profile playback settings.
* **Offline Playback:** Jellyfin does not support native offline downloads. Content must be streamed while connected to the internet.
