Questions, answered.

Lampra is a media player for Emby and Jellyfin servers. It has native apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android phones and tablets, and Android TV. You connect it to a server you run or have access to, and it plays what is on that server.

No. Lampra doesn’t provide, host or link to any content. It only plays media from servers you connect it to.

Emby Server and Jellyfin. Plex is not supported. The server versions each release has been tested with are listed in the changelog.

No. Lampra is an independent app made by a separate team. Emby and Jellyfin are trademarks of their owners.

Yes. Before you add a server, Lampra shows trending films and shows so you can see how it looks and feels.

No. Lampra plays the original file directly and follows direct links from the server. It never asks the server to transcode, which saves your server’s CPU and keeps the picture exactly as it was stored.

Yes. Lampra plays HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision Profiles 5, 7 and 8. By default HDR is tone-mapped so colors are correct on any display; on Mac displays with EDR you can turn on HDR output.

Embedded and external subtitles, including styled ASS/SSA, SRT and PGS. Lampra keeps the styling of ASS subtitles and lets you adjust timing and size while you watch.

The one you choose. Pick a version before or during playback and Lampra remembers it for that film, or for a whole series. If you don’t choose, it picks by your connection and preferences.

Yes, when the server has intro markers (Emby chapter markers or Jellyfin media segments). A Skip button appears, and you can undo a skip for five seconds. Automatic skipping is a setting.

Lampra is built to be easy on servers: it doesn’t crawl libraries, it limits requests and parallel image loads, and it identifies itself honestly as Lampra. Whether a client is allowed is still up to each server’s admin.

Yes. Add every address to one account. Lampra measures each one, uses the fastest, and switches automatically when one stops answering.

Yes. Add as many servers and accounts as you like and switch between them from the sidebar or settings.

Yes. Progress is saved to your Emby or Jellyfin server, so any device signed in to the same account picks up where you left off.

No. There is no Lampra account, and the apps contain no analytics or advertising code. Your server address, credentials and settings stay on your device; what you watch is only known to your server.

Lampra doesn’t keep your password. It keeps the access token your server issues at sign-in, in the app’s private storage on your device, and sends it nowhere except your server.

Yes. Every feature is unlocked for 14 days, with no payment details needed. That is enough time to check HDR, subtitles and the remote on your own setup.

Yes. There is a lifetime purchase as well as a yearly plan. Both unlock the same features.

On Apple devices, one purchase unlocks Lampra on every iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV signed in with the same Apple Account, including Family Sharing. Android is purchased separately through Google Play.

No. Anything that is free or included in your purchase today stays that way.
