Every film gets the stage.

The interface is near-black and steps back. The film fills the window and its color spills down the page.

On every screen you own.

Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and Android. Your progress lives on your server, so it’s waiting on whichever one you pick up.

Lampra has no colors of its own to show you. Every color on screen comes from a poster or a still.

Each film lights its own room.

Lampra reads the color of every backdrop and lets it wash over the page. Move along a shelf and the room changes with the film.

The card in focus glows in its own color, too.

Built for each screen, not stretched across them.

A Mac has a pointer and a keyboard. A TV has one remote and one focus. A phone has your thumb. Lampra gives each of them its own interface.

Pointer and keyboard

  • A sidebar that gets out of the way The sidebar floats over the page, so the film’s still runs beneath it. Hide it and the poster wall goes edge to edge.
  • Hover, right-click, keyboard Rest on a card to play or favorite it. Right-click for versions, watched state and links. Arrow keys walk the shelves; Space plays.
  • Trackpad that stays on its rail Swipe a shelf sideways and the page doesn’t wobble up and down: each gesture locks to the direction it started in.
More about Lampra for Mac

The file, as it is.

Lampra plays the original file straight from your server. It follows direct links and never asks the server to transcode, so what you stored is what you see.

  • 4K
  • HDR10
  • HLG
  • Dolby Vision 5 · 7 · 8
  • HEVC 10-bit
  • AV1
  • TrueHD
  • DTS-HD MA
  • E-AC-3
  • ASS
  • PGS

HDR is tone-mapped by default, so colors are right on any screen. On Mac displays with extra brightness, switch on HDR output and use all of it.

Choose a version once.

When a film has several versions, pick the one you want before or during playback. Lampra remembers it, and for a series it remembers it for every episode.

Subtitles that look the way they were made.

Styled ASS subtitles keep their fonts, colors and positions. If only another version of the film has the language you want, Lampra borrows it. Nudge timing by a tenth of a second while you watch.

Several routes to one server. Lampra picks.

Add every address your server answers on. Lampra measures each one, uses the quickest, and moves to the next on its own when a route fails.

Kind to your server.

Shared-server admins watch what clients do. Lampra is the client they don’t have to worry about.

  • Never crawls your library.
  • A budget of requests for the first screen.
  • A cap on how many images load at once.
  • Rows load only when you scroll near them.
  • One honest User-Agent. Your admin sees “Lampra for Apple TV”, not a disguise.

Questions people ask first.

All questions
What is Lampra?

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.

Does Lampra come with films or shows?

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

Does Lampra transcode?

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.

Does Lampra support Dolby Vision and HDR?

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.

Will my server admin mind that I use Lampra?

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.

Does Lampra collect any data?

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.

Is there a free trial?

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.
