Reel
by arsfeld
A modern media player for GNOME
About
Reel is a native Linux media player that brings your Plex and Jellyfin libraries to the GNOME desktop. Built with Rust and GTK4, it delivers a fast, reliable media experience without the overhead of web technologies. Features: - Native GTK4/libadwaita interface that integrates seamlessly with GNOME - Support for multiple media backends (Plex, with Jellyfin planned) - Offline-first design with SQLite caching - Hardware-accelerated video playback via GStreamer - Fast and memory-safe, written entirely in Rust - Background synchronization that doesn't block the UI
