Jellyfin

Creating a Jellyfin server

If you don't already have a Jellyfin server setup you can easily try it out on Linux using the Jellyfin Server Flatpak. For Windows see Jellyfin Downloads.

Tip: If using the Flatpak server, use Flatseal to grant access to your music library path.

Connect to your server and import your library

1. Make sure your server is setup, running and accessible.
2. In Tauon, to go MENU > Settings > Accounts and click Jellyfin button.
3. Fill in Username, Password and Server URL. (Include the port number which is probably 8096.)
4. Press the Test connectivity button to ensure a connection can be made
5. Press the Import music to playlist button to import your library. In the top panel the text "Accessing Jellyfin Library" will appear, this means you just need to wait. That notice may persist for a while as additional metadata is downloaded.

The Jellyfin library playlist

The playlist created by the Import music to playlist button acts as your main jellyfin library playlist. You should keep this playlist around regardless of if you create/import/use other playlists.

Updating

If new music is added to your Jellyfin server, for those to show in Tauon you will need to manually update your Jellyfin library playlist by right clicking the playlist tab and selecting Regenerate.

Favorites

If you love a track in Tauon, it's favorite status in Jellyfin will be immediately updated. If an items status changes server side, it won't show in Tauon until you update the library playlist, see above.

Playlist import

Added in v7.4.1

To import all playlists at once:

• Click MENU > Settings > Accounts > Jellyfin > Import playlists.

To import a single playlist:

• In the jellyfin web interface, go to your playlist and copy the playlist ID. You can find that in the URL when viewing the playlist. See highlighted section in screenshot:
• Create a new playlist (Ctrl+t)
• Edit its generator (Ctrl+e)
• Type jelly"" and paste the ID between the quotes.
• Right click the playlist tab and select "Regenerate".

Playlist syncing

You need to do syncing manually.

• If changes were made on the server, you need to right click the playlist tab in Tauon and select "Regenerate".
• If changes were made in Tauon, right click the playlist and select "Upload".

  Note: When pressing "Upload", make sure the playlist only contains Jellyfin tracks. Any local track entries in the playlist will be lost.
