Jellyfin is where you'll watch everything — movies, TV shows, music, and more. This guide covers the features you'll use most.

Go to twilighttv.myddns.me/jellyfin and sign in with the account an admin set up for you.

If you don't have an account yet or forgot your password, see Account & Access Help.

After logging in, you'll land on the home screen. This is organized into rows:

• Continue Watching — anything you've started but haven't finished
• Next Up — the next episode in shows you're following
• Recently Added — new movies/shows that just got added to the server
• Libraries — Movies, TV Shows, Music, etc. as separate sections you can browse

Click into any library (e.g. Movies) to browse the full collection. You can:

• Sort by name, date added, release date, rating, etc.
• Filter by genre, year, or whether you've watched it
• Use the search icon at the top to jump straight to a title by name

Click any poster to open its detail page, then hit Play. From the detail page you can also:

• Read the synopsis and see the cast
• Mark something as a Favorite (heart icon)
• Mark an episode/movie as watched or unwatched manually

While something is playing, you can:

• Change subtitles or audio tracks — click the speech bubble/gear icon in the player
• Change quality — useful if you're on a slow connection; lower quality = less buffering
• Skip intro — shows up automatically on supported shows
• Cast to a TV or other device from the player (see below)

Click the heart icon on any movie, show, or episode to add it to your Favorites. This gives you a filtered view so you can quickly find things you've flagged, separate from the full library.

Jellyfin isn't just a website — you can install a dedicated app for a much better experience, especially on TVs and phones.

When setting up any app, use this as the server address:

twilighttv.myddns.me/jellyfin

From the web player or mobile app, tap the cast icon to send playback to a Chromecast, smart TV, or other supported device on the same network.

On the mobile apps, you can download episodes/movies to watch without an internet connection — useful for travel. Look for the download icon on the detail page (not available on the website, only the mobile apps).

• Use Next Up on the home screen to jump straight back into a show you're mid-way through.
• If something looks blurry, check your quality setting in the player — it may have auto-selected a lower bitrate.
• Subtitles not showing up? Check the subtitle menu in the player — they may just need to be turned on for that title.
