Sources
Wherever your media lives, one library.
Add as many sources as you like. The same film on two of them is one film in Reflux, with every copy as a version. A source that goes away keeps its titles in your library until it comes back.
Folders on your device
A folder on your computer, phone, tablet, or TV, or on a drive plugged into it.
- Adding it
- Windows and Linux: choose a folder. Android phones and tablets: the system picker grants one folder at a time, read-only. TVs: Reflux shows the device’s storage and you choose with the remote.
- Good to know
- On Android 13 and later TVs, artwork kept beside your videos (poster.jpg, fanart.jpg) is not read; Reflux uses your servers’ artwork or its own designed look.
Jellyfin
Your Jellyfin server’s libraries, with what the server knows about each title.
- Adding it
- Add it by its address and sign in. Your password is used once and never kept; Reflux keeps the session in the system’s credential store where there is one.
- Good to know
- Watched and resume positions go both ways. When a device cannot play a file, the server converts only what it must. Removing the server signs this device out of it.
Plex
Your Plex Media Server’s films and shows, with descriptions, cast, and progress.
- Adding it
- Sign in with your Plex account, use a Plex token, or connect without either where your server lets your network in.
- Good to know
- Plays files directly; Reflux does not ask Plex to convert. What a device cannot play is said.
Windows and NAS shares (SMB)
A shared folder on a PC or a NAS.
- Adding it
- Add it by its address (\\nas\Media or //nas/Media) with a user name and password if it has them.
- Good to know
- Read-only. Files are streamed to the player, not copied.
Web shares (WebDAV)
A NAS, Nextcloud, or any web server that shares files over WebDAV.
- Adding it
- Add it by its address, with a user name and password if it asks.
- Good to know
- Read-only. Reflux only reads listings and files at the address you gave it.
You decide what is in your library
Each source, and each library on a server, can be left out of your library without disconnecting it: it stays under Sources, where you can still open it and play from it, and what you watched is kept. Reflux never renames, moves, or changes your files.
