# JellyCon
JellyCon is a lightweight Kodi add-on that lets you browse and play media files from your Jellyfin server directly within the Kodi interface. Think of it as a Think client, compared to Jellyfin for Kodi, which integrates into Kodi itself.
JellyCon behaves more like a standard Kodi streaming add-on. Media is accessed primarily by going through the Add-ons -> JellyCon menu, however depending on what skin is being used custom shortcuts and widgets can be added to the home menu. It also allows easier switching between multiple Jellyfin servers or users since it doesn't have to rely on syncing all the metadata down. By not having metadata synced, it has to request info from the server which can take a bit more time when you're browsing, but you don't have to wait for the database to sync or keep it up to date. It's also compatible with other media sources and can be used with other add-ons without issue.
