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.

Reel Room is built around the way film fans already watch: choose tonight’s film, then sit down and give it your full attention. Browse your library on your PC — posters, synopses, seasons, albums — pick a film, choose your room, and put on the headset. It’s the VR equivalent of pulling a Blu-ray off the shelf and settling in. From then on it’s just you and the film: pause, scrub, jump chapters, switch rooms and recenter from one controller, with nothing between you and the screen.

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.

• 4K HDR, tuned for your headset. Hardware-decodes 10-bit HDR HEVC and tone-maps it to your headset’s display with full color and contrast — so HDR Blu-ray rips that other players show washed-out, or can’t open at all, finally look right.

• Picture modes, like a good TV. Standard, Cinema, Vivid, Bright, and Night presets adjust brightness, contrast, and color to suit the room and your headset’s panel — switched live, no restart.

• 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.

• In-headset playback controls. 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)

• Pimax (Crystal and 8K-series headsets)

• Any other OpenXR-compatible PCVR headset
