About The Media Center
Media Center is a client for the Plex or Jellyfin server your household already runs. It ships with no media and no catalog of its own — everything you see comes from your server, and nothing passes through us. YOUR SERVER, YOUR LIBRARY Your household administrator connects the app to your Plex server, your Jellyfin server, or both, at themediacenter.net/admin. After that everyone in the household signs in on their own device and finds the same library, laid out for a television rather than a file browser: posters, synopses, cast, episode stills and season lists. A PROFILE FOR EVERYONE Each person in the household gets their own profile, their own avatar and their own My List. Kids profiles see only what the household administrator has approved, and a grown-up profile can be kept behind a PIN. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Start a film on your iPhone and finish it on Apple TV. Your place is kept per profile and per episode, so two people watching the same series never lose each other's spot. SUBTITLES AND AUDIO, HANDLED Switch audio and subtitle tracks mid-playback, load an external subtitle file, or search for one when a title arrives without any. ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac, from one household account. NOTHING TO BUY No advertising, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions. We sell no content, because we have none. Media Center is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Plex, Inc. or the Jellyfin project; Plex and Jellyfin are trademarks of their respective owners, used here only to name the servers this app connects to.
