📱 Android (mobile) sign-in

Use Streamyfin to stream Jellyfin on an Android phone or tablet.

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 or downloader account is not automatically your Jellyfin streaming account.

Install the app

Install Streamyfin from Google Play. Use Streamyfin’s website to find its official store links and check device compatibility.

Compare apps for this device

Connect Streamyfin

Open Streamyfin and add a server if one is not already shown.
Enter https://jellyfin.blackbeardsvault.com in the Server URL field, then tap Connect.
Enter the supplied Username and Password, then tap Log In. Use Save this account only on your own device if offered.

Expected result: your Jellyfin libraries load. Open a title and play a short part to check video and sound.

Streamyfin uses one complete URL. There is no separate Port value to enter in this flow.

Using an official Jellyfin app instead?

The official Jellyfin Android mobile app use different menus. Add the same complete server URL and sign in with the same Jellyfin account.

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.

Contact @Captain Cruv in #support-channel on Discord. Include the device model, app name/version, exact error, and when it happened. Never post your password.
