Take your library along.

Download original media files on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and check offline compatibility before you travel.

Can I download videos to watch offline?

On iPhone, iPad, and Mac, open a movie or individual episode and choose Download. Your Jellyfin account must allow downloads. Files retain their original server format and need to be compatible with Apple’s player for offline playback. Apple TV supports streaming rather than offline downloads. Test a download before traveling.

Will downloads continue when I leave the app?

On iPhone and iPad, transfers use the system’s background downloading support. Timing depends on iOS, your connection, and device conditions; force-quitting can interrupt transfers. Keep Cinevyr running during downloads on Mac. You can pause, resume, retry, or delete transfers in Downloads. The Wi-Fi setting applies to new and resumed transfers.

Why did my downloads disappear after signing out?

Signing out keeps the files on your device but hides that account’s downloads. Reconnect to the same server and account to manage them. Delete downloads in Cinevyr before signing out if you want to remove their local files. Downloads are not automatically transferred to another device.
