iPhone and iPad

  1. Install Jellyfin Mobile from the App Store using the official client directory.
  2. Open it, paste the server address, connect, and sign in. If prompted, allow local network access only if you want device discovery.

Computer and web browser

  1. Select Open Jellyfin above in a current browser.
  2. Enter your Jellyfin credentials and select Sign In.
  3. Choose a library and play something. Bookmark the Jellyfin address for next time.

Audiobooks

  1. Use Jellyfin in the browser or the official mobile app. Sign in using the same server address and credentials.
  2. Open the Audiobooks library and choose a book or chapter. Play for a moment, close the player, then reopen to see how your client handles progress.
  3. For dedicated apps, check the client directory for Jellyfin compatibility. Chapter navigation, background playback and downloads vary by client.

If Audiobooks is missing, ask for access to that library.

Troubleshooting

  • Cannot connect — Check the full HTTPS address, then try opening it in a browser. Check Server Status. A phone on cellular data can help rule out a Wi-Fi problem.
  • Certificate warning — Check the address and device date and time. Stop if the warning persists and contact support.
  • Sign-in fails — Check the account name and password on the browser first. If your account still fails, open a support ticket.
  • Playback buffers or audio is missing — Try a lower streaming quality, a different audio track, or turning subtitles off temporarily. Test another title to narrow it down.
  • Still stuck — Open a support ticket with your device model, app version, title, time and exact error. Keep passwords out of the ticket.
