About Cinereel Media Server Player
Cinereel is a fast, native player for the media server you already run. It connects straight to your own Plex Media Server or Jellyfin server — there is nothing in between, no account of ours to create, and no library of ours to sign into.
DESCRIBE WHAT YOU WANT TO WATCH
Search by title, or just describe it: "something funny from the 30s", "90s crime movie under two hours", "cartoons for the kids". Cinereel reads the decade, the length, movie or show and kid-friendliness out of what you type, turns everyday words into genres, and looks through synopses, cast and directors. A line under the search field shows what it understood.
With Cinereel Pro on a device with Apple Intelligence, Ask Your Library understands looser requests too — understood on your device; searches go only to your own server.
YOUR LIBRARY
• Home with Continue Watching and Recently Added
• Every movie and TV library on your server, with series, seasons and episodes
• Title pages with synopsis, cast, score and a "More like this" row
• Your collections, with artwork
• Ask the server to scan a library for new files, right from the app
A PLAYER THAT KEEPS PLAYING
• Plays the original file whenever your iPhone or iPad can, so your server does less work, and steps through converted streams only when it has to
• Detects a video your iPhone or iPad cannot decode and switches to a compatible stream within seconds
• Rides out brief buffering instead of throwing an error, and rebuilds the stream at your exact position after a long pause
• Reports your position back to your server, so you can stop on one device and resume on another
• Chapters, Skip Intro, Up Next countdown and automatic episode advance
• Preview thumbnails as you scrub, when your server provides them
• Playback speed from 0.5x to 2x, subtitles and three quality settings
• AirPlay and Picture in Picture
AROUND YOUR HOME
• Watch Together with SharePlay on a FaceTime call, each person playing from their own server
• Use your iPhone or iPad as a remote for Cinereel on Apple TV
• Continue Watching widget, Siri and Shortcuts, and Spotlight search for your library
• Handoff between iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro, and a sleep timer
OFFLINE DOWNLOADS (Cinereel Pro)
Keep films and episodes on this iPhone or iPad and play them with your server switched off.
• Downloads are the original files, not re-encodes
• Set how much storage they may use; Cinereel removes what you have already watched first, and never something you have not started
• A Downloads screen shows what is stored, what is still arriving, and how much space is in use
CINEREEL PRO
One purchase, no subscription, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro: multiple servers, Sign in with Plex, household profiles with PINs and child restrictions, offline downloads, smart collections and filters, watchlists and an Up Next queue, audio and subtitle track choice, Ask Your Library, themes and playback stats. Everything else is free and stays free.
