Install
- Open AN Player and go to the Plugins Screen.
- Find Jellyfin in the official plugins list.
- Install the plugin and open its configuration page.
Configure Plugin
Jellyfin requires access to your own server.
- Enter the base URL of your Jellyfin server.
- Tap Check Quick Connect to see whether your server has Quick Connect enabled.
- Use either:
- Quick Connect: start it here and approve the code from another signed-in Jellyfin session.
- Username And Password: sign in directly from the config page.
- Tap Save.
The plugin stores only:
- your Jellyfin server URL
- access token
- Jellyfin user id and name
- Jellyfin server id
- AN Player device id and device name
Your password is not saved into the plugin configuration.
If Nothing Loads
If the Jellyfin home screen is still empty after saving, the most common issues are:
- the server URL is wrong or unreachable from the device running AN Player
- the token expired and needs a fresh sign-in
- the Jellyfin server only works on your home network, but the device is outside that network
Recheck the base URL, sign in again to refresh the token, and make sure the same server is reachable from AN Player.
