Is there a Jellyfin Server Android app like Emby Server?

I have the Jellyfin client app on my Samsung TV and also on my Android phone.

The problem is hosting the Jellyfin server. I don't have a PC or dedicated server, so I was previously running Jellyfin in Docker through Termux on my Android phone.

Is there any proper Android application/APK that works as a Jellyfin server, similar to the Emby Server Android app?

I'm looking for something that can run the Jellyfin server directly on Android without needing a PC, preferably with an easy setup.

If there are other good ways to host Jellyfin entirely from an Android phone, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Sideloading Jellyfin & VLC on Samsung Tizen TVs using ONLY an Android │ Phone (No PC, No USB, No Tizen Studio, No Signing Certificates │ required!)

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a method I put together to sideload custom `.wgt` app packages (like Jellyfin, VLC, or Ad-free YouTube/TizenBrew) onto

Samsung Tizen Smart TVs using nothing but Termux on an Android phone.

Normally, sideloading Tizen apps is a massive pain it requires a 64-bit Linux PC, downloading gigabytes of Tizen Studio SDK, creating developer/author certificates, and signing apps.

This script connects over SDB (Smart Development Bridge) using raw socket file transfer, bypassing the need for a PC, USB, Tizen Studio, or signing certificates.

I've documented the steps in my repository here:

👉 https://github.com/Suz41/Sideload-Tizen-by-Android

### Quick Steps:

  1. Turn Developer Mode ON in the TV App Store (PIN `12345`) and set

Host IP to your phone Hotspot IP.

  1. In Termux, generate and sync RSA keys.

  2. Connect: `adb connect <TV_IP>:26101`

  3. Run the installer directly over the internet:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Suz41/Sideload-Tizen-by-Android/main/install.py | python3 -
