jellyfin step by step guide

  • note: jellyfin log ins are managed by authelia, and most jellyfin apps won't let you log in with authelia directly (it will stay stuck on 'logging in...'), so you must use quick connect
  • step 1: in a web browser (eg firefox or chrome), go to authelia.cliny.net
  • enter your email address in the 'username' field
  • enter your password
  • check 'remember me'
  • hit 'sign in'
  • if you get the error message 'incorrect username or password', hit 'reset password?', enter your email address, and follow the prompts from the email you receive to set a new password
  • still in that web browser, go to jellyfin.cliny.net
  • hit 'authelia'
  • go to jellyfin settings, then 'quick connect', and leave this window open
  • open the jellyfin app on your other devices (eg smart tv or phone)
  • if any hosts already exist in the app (eg jellyfin.cliny.net), click on them, and hit 'delete'
  • if required, enter the host as: https://jellyfin.cliny.net
  • use quick connect in the app and enter the code into the 'quick connect code' field in your web browser from the previous step, and hit 'authorize'
  • congrats, you are now logged in to jellyfin
