This turns your Jellyfin library into a fully walkable 1990s video rental store. Halcyon Video turns your personal media library into a walkable 1990s video rental store that you can explore in first person. Built with three.js, it connects to your Jellyfin server and renders every film as a physical case on a shelf. You walk the aisles, pull a title off the wall, and inspect the back of the box for real reviews and technical specs. You carry the tape to the counter where a cloth simulation bag crinkles around it, then head home to a virtual living room to watch it on a CRT.
