Libraries and collections

Each movie and TV library has a page of its own, opened from the sidebar.

A library's page

• At the top, a large picture moves through the newest titles in the library.
• Continue Watching for that library: the fifteen titles you watched last, a show only once.
• The list of everything in the library.

Movies are listed as posters, six across. Shows are listed as wide cards, four across: each is the show's picture with its logo, and in the corner the number of episodes you have left, or a tick when you have seen them all.

The picture at the top can be switched off in Settings, Appearance, under Library, Hero.

Sorting and filtering

A library opens sorted from A to Z. The View button above the list changes the sort, applies a filter, or switches to the library's collections. A sort you choose is remembered for that library.

Jumping by letter

In a list sorted by title, a strip of letters runs down the edge. Move onto it and pick a letter to jump there.

In a long list there is a faster way: hold Up or Down. After about a second and a half, focus moves to the letters and steps through them while you hold.

Collections

Choose Collections from a library's View button to list its collections. A collection opens as a page of its own:

• Its wide picture across the top, with its name, a line of facts, and its description.
• A bar showing how far through the collection you are.
• Play, which starts the title you should watch next and says which one. With two or more films there is also Shuffle.
• Its titles as a row of posters, in your server's order. A collection of more than twelve titles is laid out as a row for each decade.

A title's page

Under the title's name are three buttons:

• Play. It reads Resume when you are partway through, and on a show it names the episode, such as Resume S2, E4.
• Watched, a tick. On a show it first tells you how many episodes you have seen and asks whether to mark them all watched or unwatched.
• More, three dots. Behind it: Add to Favorites, Details, Shuffle on a show, and Play Version when a title has more than one file.

Below, in this order: a show's episodes, with every season in one row; trailers and extras; the collection the title belongs to; Cast & Crew, twelve people at most, cast first; the title's details; and related titles.

Details opens a card with the title's ratings, release date, running time, age rating, languages and subtitles.

Favorites and playlists

Add to Favorites and Add to Playlist are in the long-press menu. Your favourites are kept on your Jellyfin server, so they are the same in every Jellyfin app.

A Favorites row for the sidebar, and favourites rows for Home, are switched on in Settings, Appearance.
