Other Clients
-------------
Jellyfin has numerous other `clients <https://jellyfin.org/downloads/>`_, not all of which have been tested at the time of this writing. If you are able to test (successfully or unsucessfully) an app not documented in this guide, your feedback would be much appreciated.
.. note:: Some clients such as 'Jellyfin for Roku' and 'Swiftfin' (tvOS) are not configured to use Local DNS - as a result, these clients are unable to resolve private urls like ``.local``.
