📺 Roku app sign-in (Jellyfin)

Connect the official Jellyfin channel on a Roku streaming player or Roku TV.

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

Open Roku’s Streaming Store, search for Jellyfin, and add the official channel. Jellyfin does not require a cable/satellite subscription or an app unlock.

Connect and sign in

1. Open Jellyfin. Choose to enter a server manually if yours is not listed.
2. Enter https://jellyfin.blackbeardsvault.com in the server-address box and confirm it. This is a single URL; do not append a port or use Emby’s Port 0 instructions.
3. Enter your Username and Password. Select Save Credentials? only on your own device if offered, then choose Submit.

Expected result: your libraries appear. Open a title and test playback.

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.

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.
