The media server, rebuilt
Lattice rebuilt the data layer behind the Jellyfin® API from the ground up for speed, concurrency, reliability and — did we mention speed? Searches in under 7 ms. A full library sync in seconds, not minutes. Parallelized and optimized so time-starved admins work less and enjoy their media more. Engineered by a 20+ year veteran of home media.
“Up to 1,500×” is search as you type: each keystroke took Jellyfin 10.11 3,000–10,000 ms and Lattice under 7 ms (~500–1,500×), measured on one household library of about 40,000 items. How we measured.
Day one
When we moved our own library into Jellyfin, it took more than 24 hours, and that was with a purpose-built harness feeding it a few seasons at a time so its database wouldn’t fall over. Jellyfin users report the same: hours, often days.
Lattice reads, catalogues and dresses your library in parallel. In our lab, a copy of our whole library’s layout, 36,130 files, was playable in under ten minutes.
| Load | Library | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Our move into Jellyfin (March 2026) | 31,411 items | 24 h+ |
| Jellyfin 10.11, our lab | 36,130 files | 3 h 22 min |
| Lattice, our lab | 36,130 files | 9.4 min |
Lab: same machine, cold start, until every file is playable. Our March move is our own account of a real migration, not a lab run. How we measured
Start tonight, not next week: your library loads in minutes. After that, search, browse and sync answer before you’ve finished tapping, however big it gets.
Under 7 ms per search keystroke; a full 40,000-item library sync in about 5 seconds.
Ask Lattice walks the people you share with through setup on their phone and Apple TV, and through buffering and connection problems, so they don’t call you.
Pre-built setup and troubleshooting steps for your server, in the Lattice iPhone app (beta). How Ask works
Infuse connects exactly as it does today. Swiftfin, Streamyfin and other Jellyfin-compatible players speak the same API. Old TV or a slow connection? Pick a port to cap the quality.
Same login, same libraries, same direct play; watch history and resume points come with you.
Distiller re-encodes to save space, and proves the quality instead of promising it.
~64% saved on re-encoded shows on one household library, every file checked with VMAF.
No open admin ports, and every new device is approved by the owner, which works like a second factor.
The people you share with install nothing but their player: no VPN, no relay.
No tracking, no telemetry, no ads.
Your library and viewing data stay on your server; anything that would ever leave it is opt-in.
Pricing
Free for you and everyone you share with. Some admin features are paid in-app add-ons.
Beta testers come from the waitlist, chosen for a mix of setups. Tell us about yours.
Lattice serves media you already own. It does not provide, find or acquire content.
We’re running alpha tests now and will pick beta testers from this list. One email when there’s a place for you; nothing else.
Thanks. We’ll email you when there’s a beta place for you, and when Lattice launches. That’s all we’ll send.
