Application screenshot to be added.

Spool connects to your Jellyfin server to browse and play your media. It uses a native Qt interface rather than a web view.

Qt Quick on the front end, C++ underneath. Built for desktop, TV and Android.

Desktop video playback uses libmpv. Qt and mpv share the graphics device.

Browse with a keyboard or TV remote. Android also has touch controls.

On desktop, load your mpv configuration and key bindings. Spool keeps control of the embedded player.

Rendering and page transitions are benchmarked during development. Hardware and playback backend still matter.

Development happens in the open. Read the code and release notes on GitHub.

Choose your platform below.

Follow the developer mode guide. Enable Key Server, then connect webOS Dev Manager from a computer on the same network.

Install the .ipk in Dev Manager. Renew developer mode to keep installed apps.

Choose the universal APK if unsure, or 64-bit ARM, 32-bit ARM or x86-64.

Open the APK on your device and allow installation from that source.

Run the x64 Setup.exe installer, or Portable.exe without installing.

Open the .dmg for Apple Silicon or Intel. Drag Spool into Applications.

On x86-64, make the AppImage executable and run it. Or extract the .tar.zst and run AppRun.

On Arch Linux, run pacman -U with the .pkg.tar.zst file path as root.
