Remux
Updated
Remux is a media server that speaks the Jellyfin API, so the Jellyfin apps you already use (mobile, TV, web) connect to it as if it were Jellyfin itself. Instead of building a library from files you download first, Remux resolves streams on demand from your Stremio addon sources and hands each one straight to your app.
No torrenting or P2P
The ElfHosted build does not support torrenting or P2P: the torrent engine is removed entirely from our image at build time, magnet links are rejected, and no peer-to-peer connections are possible. Remux on ElfHosted plays Stremio addon (HTTP) sources: local folders, WebDAV shares, IPTV and Live TV are not available in our build. In keeping with Remux's AGPL-3.0 license, the source patches we apply are available on request.
Direct play only (no transcoding)
Hosted Remux streams directly to your player and never transcodes. Streams are handed straight to your client from their source, so playback is fast and your instance stays lean, but your player must be able to decode the format natively:
- Browsers are fussy: pick AVC/H.264 streams in the version picker when watching in a web browser. HEVC/x265 and DTS audio generally will not play in browsers.
- Native Jellyfin apps (TV, mobile, desktop) direct play nearly everything, including HEVC and 4K.
- If you pick a stream your device cannot play, Remux shows a short explainer video (not an error) telling you what to choose instead.

How does Remux compare to the alternatives?
Remux is one of several ways to get Stremio addon content into a Jellyfin app on ElfHosted. The others are JellyStreams, which serves an AIOStreams library to a household with profiles, kids' libraries and screen time, Polyfin, which gives each person their own account with their own limits, and the Gelato plugin inside a real Jellyfin server.
What you pay Remux's difference for is that it behaves like a media server: its own user database (with import from an existing Jellyfin server), dynamic libraries built from filter rules over tags, catalogs, popularity and release year, per-user content exclusions, multiple Stremio addons at once, a separate music pipeline, and a full admin dashboard.
Full comparison: Stremio in Jellyfin apps, three ways. Setup walkthrough: the Remux guide.
How do I use it?
When your instance starts for the first time, open it in your browser and complete the first-run setup to create your admin account. Do this promptly after subscribing, since the setup page is open until the admin account is claimed.
Once you're set up:
- Add your sources (your Stremio addons, such as your AIOStreams manifest) in the Remux dashboard.
- Point your Jellyfin apps at your Remux URL and sign in with your Remux account. In Infuse, add it as a Jellyfin server, with your public Remux URL, port
443, and your Remux account. - Browse and play. Remux resolves and streams on demand, so there's no library import step to wait for.
Good to know:
- Usenet-backed streams can take up to a minute to start the first time anyone plays them, while the source prepares the file. If a stream fails on first try, wait a moment and try it again, or pick another.
- If you reset your Remux data, your Jellyfin apps will show a one-time "Server Mismatch" warning at the next connection. That's expected after a reset (your instance gets a new identity), and "Connect Anyway" is the right answer.

from broken to fully resolved in under 1h
It's obvious how much work the team has put into to automating and running this. It's probably one of the smoothest deployments of anything this remotely complex I've seen.
