Reel Room

Reel Room is a VR home theatre that plays films, TV, and music from a Jellyfin server, your local drives, or any network share — onto a virtual 4K screen, inside hand-crafted theatre environments. Put on a PCVR headset, sink into a curated room, and watch what you actually own — in lossless original quality, with no monthly fee and no streaming service in the middle.

Features

• Play from wherever your media lives. Connect to a Jellyfin server on your home network, open files straight off your local drives, or point Reel Room at a network share. It reads your full library — films, series, music — and respects your folder structure, posters, and metadata.

• Lossless first. Direct-plays original files when your hardware can. Where transcoding is needed, audio is preserved at high fidelity (FLAC and lossless AAC on the music path) and video is stream-copied without re-encoding for H.264 and HEVC sources.

• 3D movies, automatically. Side-by-side and over-under 3D films are detected straight from your library and shown with true stereoscopic depth on the virtual screen — in every environment, with no setup. For untagged files, a 2D/3D toggle is always one click away.

• Hand-crafted environments. Choose between cozy “Home Zen” rooms and more cinematic “Theatre Zen” spaces, each with its own lighting, ambient audio rig, and decor. More environments arrive post-launch.

• Full in-VR HUD. A purpose-built world-space UI gives you scrubbing, chapter jumps, environment switching, and music controls — all on a single motion controller. Nothing is hidden behind a menu.

• Music mode too. Albums stream to a music-tuned environment with album art on the screen, audio rig in the room, and a queue you can shuffle, repeat, or seek.

• Multi-headset by design. Built on OpenXR — tested on Meta Quest and Pimax, and compatible with any OpenXR PCVR headset, with controller bindings tuned per device.

• Settings that follow you. Your Jellyfin login, room configurations, and playback preferences sync across machines via Steam Cloud — set up once, pick up where you left off on any PC.

• No subscription. No telemetry. You pay once. Your watch history stays on your Jellyfin server. Your network traffic stays on your network.

Your library, your way

Reel Room never asks you to upload, re-encode, or migrate. Point it at a Jellyfin server on your LAN, a folder on a local drive, or a network share and it works — Blu-ray rips, anime collections, family videos, FLAC albums, podcasts. Up to 140 Mbps streaming covers 4K Blu-ray bitrates without compromise.

Built for VR, not ported to it

Every screen is world-space UI Toolkit, every interaction is motion-controller native. There is no flat menu floating in space, no mouse cursor, no awkward gaze-pointer. The HUD lives where your eyes are; the controls live where your hands are.

Supported headsets

• Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest Pro (via Link or Air Link)
