Jellyfin provides a great media experience when installing, but throwing in a few plugins can make it even better. For those coming from one of our Jellyfin install guides , plugins are just a few extra steps away. Even if you have a Jellyfin install going, plugins can be a great way to refresh your content and add a few additional features. For those new to Jellyfin, it is a free and open-source self-hosted media server that gives you complete control of the media on your network, and it is a great way to share media across all the devices on your networks.

The plugins in this list aim to enrich the look and information around your media and provide a few quality-of-life enhancements. Many of the plugins in this list come from the official Jellyfin plugin repository and are hosted on Jellyfin servers, providing an extra safety layer. However, some plugins in this list come from third-party sources, so they will require adding the appropriate repo for installation.

The first metadata enhancement comes courtesy of the MetaTube plugin. This plugin pulls information from all over the Internet to provide users with full metadata for their media, including titles, overviews, genres, directors, actors, and studios. Notably, the plugin also supports trailers for movies and TV series without downloading the full trailer. Another feature is enhanced search, allowing users to search for actors and films across various sources.
