Help when you need it
Use another device to sign in
Quick Connect lets an already signed-in phone or computer approve the device you’re setting up. Use it when your app shows a Quick Connect code.
- Keep the code visible on the new device.
- On a phone or computer, open Blackbeard’s Vault Jellyfin and sign in to the same Jellyfin account. If typing the address, keep the s in https://. Usernames are case-sensitive; match the capital and lowercase letters exactly.
- Open your user/profile menu, choose Quick Connect, enter the new device’s code, and confirm.
If Quick Connect is unavailable, use password sign-in on the new device. A local app PIN is a different optional setting.
Something not working?
- Can’t connect? Check the s in https:// and copy the full server address again. Don’t add a port number.
- Can’t sign in? Match every capital and lowercase letter in your username. Use your Jellyfin account, not your email or an Emby login. Remove accidental spaces.
- Video or sound problem? Close and reopen the app, check for an update, and try another title.
Still stuck? Message @Captain Cruv on Discord. Include your device, the app name, and a picture or the exact wording of the error. Never send your password.
Moonfin unavailable or not working?
Install Jellyfin for Android TV from Google Play. Add the same server address and sign in with your Jellyfin account. Quick Connect may also be offered.
Appearance, subtitles, and shared devices
Choose Skip setup to start with the default appearance. You can change it later. Choose your audio and subtitle languages during setup, or under Settings → Playback & SyncPlay.
On a shared device, review Settings → Account & Security → Auto Login. An optional local app PIN is separate from your Jellyfin password.
Picture or sound settings
Start with the default player settings. For a soundbar or receiver, Settings → Playback & SyncPlay → Audio Preferences → Passthrough can normally stay on Auto. HDR, subtitles, and surround sound depend on your TV and audio equipment.
