Jellyfin apps

Optional — media.adamtibbetts.com works in any browser. The apps are nicer.

Every app asks for a server address. Enter https://media.adamtibbetts.com, then your username and password.

Phone and tablet

  1. Search the App Store or Play Store for Jellyfin. Purple-and-blue swirl, published by Jellyfin Project.
  2. Install and open it.
  3. Enter the server address, then sign in.

TV

Search your TV’s app store for Jellyfin.

TVs without the app

Cast from your phone or laptop, or plug in a Fire TV Stick. The stick is usually the better option — built-in TV apps tend to be slow.

Computer

Use media.adamtibbetts.com in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. There is a desktop app, Jellyfin Media Player, but it only matters if you’re particular about subtitles or audio.

Don’t pay for anything. App store searches turn up unrelated paid lookalikes. The real app is free and published by Jellyfin Project.

Watching offline

In the phone apps, open something and tap the download arrow. Downloads play without a connection.
