**A whole new way to manage and view your media library.**
|
|
|
|
The Jellyfin for Kodi add-on combines the best of Kodi - ultra smooth navigation, beautiful UIs and playback of any file under the sun, and Jellyfin - the most powerful open source multi-client media metadata indexer and server. You can now retire your MySQL setup in favor of a more flexible setup.
|
|
|
|
Synchronize your media on your Jellyfin server to the native Kodi database, browsing your media at full speed, while retaining the ability to use other Kodi add-ons to enhance your experience. In addition, you can use any Kodi skin you'd like!

### Install Jellyfin for Kodi
|
|
|
|
1. Download the add-on as a [zip file](../../archive/master.zip)
|
|
- It will be saved as `jellyfin-kodi-master.zip`
|
|
2. Install Jellyfin for Kodi
|
|
- Navigate to "Add-on Browser"
|
|
- Select "Install from zip file"
|
|
+ If prompted, enter settings and enable "Unknown Sources", then go back
|
|
- Select the newly downloaded file and it will be installed
|
|
3. Within a few seconds you should be prompted for your server-details.
|
|
- If a Jellyfin server is detected on your local network, it will displayed in the popup
|
|
- If a Jellyfin server is not detected on your local network, select "Manually add server"
|
|
+ Enter the server name or IP address and the port number (default is 8096)
|
|
+ If using SSL and a reverse proxy, enter the full URL scheme in the "Host" field
|
|
* Host: https://jellyfin.example.com
|
|
* Port: 443
|
|
- Select user account and input password
|
|
4. Once you're succesfully authenticated with your Jellyfin server, configure the libraries to sync to this device
|
|
- Select "Proceed" to continue setup now
|
|
- Select "All" when asked about libraries. This will poll your server to see what is available later
|
|
- Choose between Native and Add-on mode (Add-on is recommended)
|
|
- Choose your artwork caching preferences
|
|
- Choose your empty show preferences
|
|
- Choose your ratings preferences
|
|
- Select "Proceed" to continue setup now
|
|
- Select the libraries you would like to keep synced with this device
|
|
5. The first sync of the Jellyfin server to the local Kodi database may take some time depending on your device and library size
|
|
6. Once the full sync is done, you can browse your media in Kodi, and syncs will be done automatically in the background
|
|
|
|
**Note: It's recommended to install the `Kodi Sync Queue` plugin into the Jellyfin server as well**
|
|
|
|
This will help keep your media libraries up to date without waiting for a periodic resync from Kodi.
