You'll also need your Zen's Media username and password (or your phone for Quick Connect).
Watching on a Roku, Fire TV or Apple TV? Use these guides instead:
For everything else, find your device below and install the app. Then follow Connect and sign in. It's the same for every app.

¶ Connect and sign in
Every Jellyfin app asks the same two things.
1. The server address
- When the app asks for a server, choose the option to add or enter a server address (skip any list of "discovered" servers).
- Type exactly:
https://jf.zensmedia.net
- Select Connect.
Check your typing: it's jf, not jellyfin. There are no spaces, and it ends in .net.
2. Sign in
- On a TV, use Quick Connect (easiest):
- On the TV, choose Quick Connect. A short code appears.
- On your phone, open jf.zensmedia.net and sign in.
- Tap your profile picture (top right), then Quick Connect.
- Enter the code from the TV and tap Authorize. The TV signs in by itself.
- On a phone, or if you prefer: type your Zen's Media username and password and select Sign In.
- "Unable to connect" or "Server not found": retype the address and make sure it starts with
https://.
- "Invalid username or password": try signing in at jf.zensmedia.net on your phone first to confirm your login works.
- Device not listed? See the full list of Jellyfin apps, or text me what you're using.
- Still stuck? Text me a photo of your screen.
