    I recently installed Jellyfin onto my server to stream my movies to my devices, I am very happy with how it works. 
    It got me wondering if its possible to display a library of arbitrary file types, like .exe with preview images and the likes. I'm particularly interested in moving my entire game ROM library onto the server and being able to downloading individual games via Jellyfin.

    I tried a quick search but couldn't come up with what I was looking for.
    Is this possible on Jellyfin? I would like to have all of my content in one place rather than using multiple services.

    Thanks

    I wouldn't be so categorical as to say that there is 'no interest' in implementing such a feature. In fact, I had the exact same idea and I doubt we are the only ones!

    Have a look at / upvote:

    McCarlton means that the Jellyfin devs have no interest in making this happen.  It is massively out of scope for what Jellyfin is, a media streaming server.  This would require a massive rework of the UI and the server code.

    Jellyfin just isn't designed for this task.
