A compatible media server, shared network folder, and network connection are required. Lumière does not supply movies, TV shows, or music.

Playback

The original file, at full quality.

Your server does not need to convert anything. Lumière repackages the file on your device and Apple hardware decodes the video. If a file needs more, the built-in VLC player takes over automatically.

Every server you use

Save all your Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Kodi servers and network folders. Switch between them from inside the app.

Free: one server

Your whole library

Open every movie, series, and season on your server. Nothing is deleted or hidden when you stay on Free, it is only locked.

Free: 20 titles

The Lumière player

Plays 4K HDR10 and Dolby Vision with Apple hardware decoding, Dolby Atmos from Dolby Digital Plus tracks, and lossless TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Results depend on your device and audio system.
