Wawbox: Player for Jellyfin

WawBox is the simple, accessible Jellyfin client for seniors, kids and families – on phones, tablets, Android TV, Google TV and in the car. Watch your own movies and shows from your Jellyfin server – big buttons, clear screens, no clutter.

✨ Radically simple
Large buttons, high-contrast text and a calm layout. Pick a movie, press play – that's it. Made for touchscreens, TV remotes and car controllers. The easy player for grandparents, children and anyone who just wants to watch.

▶️ Continue with one tap
The start screen opens on what you were watching. One tap and it plays on from where you left off.

🎬 Your whole library
Movies and shows, clearly arranged, with top categories for each library. Audio and subtitles carry plain names like "German" or "English" – no cryptic codes. Forced subtitles for foreign-language scenes play automatically.

📺 Jellyfin for Android TV & Google TV
A Jellyfin app for Android TV and Google TV, fully usable with the remote: big focus highlights, timeline scrubbing with the arrow keys, Back always takes you one step back.

🚗 Android Automotive
A clean movie player for the car's screen – for the break or while the car is charging. Playback stops as soon as you drive off. (Android Auto on phones is not supported.)

🏠 Kiosk mode & autostart (phones and tablets)
Turn a tablet into a dedicated home cinema: WawBox can start on boot and keep the user inside the app – no accidental exits, no confusing system screens.

🔒 Protected setup
The server connection is set up once, by you – sign in with password or code (Quick Connect). Settings, server and sign-out stay behind a hidden gesture, so family members can't change anything by accident.

📞 Remote help
See the WawBox session in your own Jellyfin dashboard and pause, resume, stop, seek, change the volume or send a message – no more explaining buttons over the phone. Can be switched off.

💎 No ads. No subscription.
A focused Jellyfin player without ads or in-app purchases. Usage statistics and crash reports only with consent.

🍿 Set it up once – and movie night just works, for the whole family. Get WawBox and bring your Jellyfin library to every screen in the house.

⚠️ Requirements
WawBox is a player only – it does not host, provide or sell any media. It needs your own Jellyfin server (at home or online) and your own media collection. WawBox is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Jellyfin project.
In the car: always follow traffic laws. Video is for parked vehicles only.
