What's new

v5 completely replaces the shared filesystem architecture from v4. The server now runs a patched ffmpeg that tunnels all file I/O back to the client over TCP. No NFS, no SMB, no shared mounts — just one TCP port.

Highlights

  • No shared filesystem — file reads and writes are tunneled over the connection. No more NFS/SMB setup, path mapping, or mount maintenance.
  • Pre-built ffmpeg binaries — releases include patched ffmpeg and ffprobe with broad hardware acceleration support (NVENC, QSV, VAAPI, AMF, VideoToolbox, and more), built on jellyfin-ffmpeg 7.1.3. No need to install ffmpeg separately.
  • Cross-platform — Linux x86_64/arm64, macOS arm64/x86_64, Windows x86_64. Windows arm64 client only.
  • Unix domain sockets — use unix:/path for same-machine setups without TCP overhead.
  • JSONC config — // and /* */ comments, trailing commas. Config file search across 8 locations.
  • HMAC-SHA256 authentication — every command is signed with a shared secret.
