VibeTV
The player. A Jellyfin client built from Swiftfin and tuned for watching at home. Works with any Jellyfin server, and best with VibeTV Manager.
VibeTV Manager
The server. One Mac app that runs your home streaming server on a Mac mini, with no Docker and no terminal.
Who's watching?
Like the streaming apps you already know. Everyone in the house picks their own profile, with their own Continue Watching. A PIN is asked once per TV, not every time, and the last person to watch is already selected.
Set up the TV from your phone.
No server addresses typed with a remote. Open VibeTV on the Apple TV and on your iPhone, check the code matches, tap Set Up. The phone hands the TV your server and the TV signs itself in.
Plays the big files.
Built on mpv, so 4K remuxes, Dolby Vision and HDR10 play straight from the file, with every audio and subtitle track the file has. Picture in Picture works too.
Your language. Your flight.
Subtitles come on in your language, and each show remembers what you picked. On iPhone, download a season before you leave and watch it offline.
The server stays home.
VibeTV Manager turns a Mac mini on a shelf into your home server: profiles for everyone, signed automatic updates and backups. Phones and TVs reach it over your own private Tailscale network, with nothing on the public internet.
