Set up Jellyfin for streaming from Blackbeard’s Vault. Start with your account, then choose your device.

Before you start

• Be an active member of the Discord and have the Jellyfin username and password provided there. Ask Cruv for a Jellyfin account if you do not have one.
• Use your supplied username, not your email. An Emby account is not automatically your Jellyfin account.

Your streaming server

https://jellyfin.blackbeardsvault.com

Copy the complete HTTPS address into your app. Do not add a default Jellyfin port such as 8096 or 8920.

Choose your device

For alternatives, costs, and model limitations, see App suggestions by platform. Official Jellyfin clients require no playback unlock.

Optional: Quick Connect

Use this only when Quick Connect is offered and you are already signed in on another device. Both devices must use the same Blackbeard’s Vault Jellyfin server.

1. On the new device, choose Quick Connect or Use Quick Connect. Some clients show it after Manual Login. Keep the displayed six-character code visible.
2. On the already signed-in device, open Jellyfin in your browser, then Settings → Quick Connect.
3. Enter the code from your new device and confirm. Return to the new device to finish signing in.

Expected result: the new device opens your account. If Quick Connect is unavailable or the code expires, use manual sign-in or request a fresh code. You do not need an external activation website.

Downloads

Downloads are available through Jellyfin upon request and approval by Cruv. Contact Cruv on Discord and wait for approval. The old separate downloader is deprecated. Once approved, use the Downloading Media guide.

Technical guidance reviewed September 2026. Store availability and interface labels can change.

Install Jellyfin on compatible Fire OS devices and sign in to Blackbeard’s Vault.

Set up Jellyfin on an Amazon Fire TV device that supports the Fire OS app.

Before you start

• Be an active member of the Discord and have the Jellyfin username and password provided there. Ask Cruv for a Jellyfin account if you do not have one.
• Use your supplied username, not your email. An Emby account is not automatically your Jellyfin account.

Install Jellyfin

Search the Amazon Appstore on your device for Jellyfin, then choose Get or Download. This is a free official app. Some newer Fire TV devices run Vega OS; the Android TV app does not automatically work on them. If Jellyfin is unavailable, ask Cruv about your exact model.

Compare apps for this device

Connect and sign in

1. Open Jellyfin and choose the manual server entry option if your server is not listed.
2. At Enter server address, enter https://jellyfin.blackbeardsvault.com, then select Connect.
3. If the app shows saved accounts, choose Add account. Select Use a password.
4. Enter your supplied Username and Password, then choose Sign in.

Expected result: the home screen shows your libraries. Play a short part of a title to check playback.

This flow uses a complete URL, not separate Host and Port fields. Menu wording can vary with app version.

If your app offers Quick Connect, you can use the optional Quick Connect steps instead of typing your password on the TV. Manual sign-in remains available.

Troubleshooting

• Cannot connect: recheck https://jellyfin.blackbeardsvault.com, including https://. Try browser sign-in to see whether the same address and account work.
• Wrong saved server: return to server selection and add the correct address. Do not reinstall as the first step.
• Sign-in rejected: check for spaces and use your supplied username. Stop repeated attempts and ask Cruv for help if it still fails.
• Browsing works but video fails: update and reopen the app, try another title, and report the exact error. Keep streaming quality on Auto where available; codec and subtitle support varies by device.

Set up Swiftfin on Apple TV, with separate instructions for the optional Infuse client.

Use Swiftfin to watch Jellyfin videos on a compatible Apple TV. Infuse is an optional alternative with a different setup form.

Before you start

• Be an active member of the Discord and have the Jellyfin username and password provided there. Ask Cruv for a Jellyfin account if you do not have one.
• Use your supplied username, not your email. An Emby account is not automatically your Jellyfin account.

Set up Swiftfin

1. Search the tvOS App Store for Swiftfin and install it. Check the current device and tvOS requirements in Jellyfin’s official client listing.
2. Open Swiftfin and add a server using https://jellyfin.blackbeardsvault.com. Use the complete HTTPS URL.
3. Connect, then sign in with your supplied Jellyfin username and password. The exact buttons depend on the installed Swiftfin version.

Expected result: your movie and TV libraries appear. Swiftfin focuses on video; it does not support music, photo, or book libraries.

If your app offers Quick Connect, you can use the optional Quick Connect steps instead of typing your password on the TV. Manual sign-in remains available.

Infuse separates the hostname from its HTTPS option. Do not paste the full URL into its Address field.
