The player
While a title plays the screen is clear. Everything is one press away.
The remote while a title plays
| Press | What happens |
|---|---|
| Play/Pause | Pauses or plays, at once. |
| Select | Shows the controls, on the progress bar. Select again to pause or play. |
| Left or Right | Skips back or ahead. Thirty seconds unless you change it. |
| Hold Left or Right | Rewinds or fast-forwards. Press the same way again to go faster, the other way to slow down. Select plays from there; Down or Back returns to where you were. |
| Swipe left or right | Moves along the progress bar, with a preview picture. Nothing changes until you press Select. |
| Up | Shows the controls, on the round buttons. |
| Down | Shows the controls with the Info pane open. |
| Back | Closes one thing at a time: a menu, the controls, and at last the player. |
While paused, circling a thumb around the clickpad's ring also moves along the progress bar.
The length of a skip is set in Settings, Playback, under Remote: Skip Forward and Skip Back, from 5 to 60 seconds.
The round buttons
- Subtitles. Opens the subtitle menu. Holding the button switches subtitles on or off. See Subtitles.
- Audio. Choose the audio track and set a delay if sound and picture are out of step. Where your sound output supports them, Enhance Dialogue and Reduce Loud Sounds are here too.
- Speed. From half speed to double.
- Content Filter. Only when Content Filtering is on in Settings. It can pause filtering for the title you are watching.
There is no quality button. A title plays at the quality set in Settings, Playback, under Streaming Quality. See Picture and sound formats.
The panes under the progress bar
- Info. The title's poster, summary and badges, and a From Beginning button.
- Chapters. When the title has chapters.
- Up Next. The episodes that follow.
- Details. How the title is playing right now: whether the file is played as it is or converted, its picture format, each audio track, and the file itself.
Skipping intros, recaps and credits
When your Jellyfin server has marked an intro, a recap, an ad break or the credits, a button appears a few seconds before it: Skip Intro, Skip Recap, Skip Ad or Skip Credits. Press Select to skip, or Back to put the button away.
The marks come from your server. Jellyfin calls them media segments, and a server without them shows no skip buttons.
In Settings, Playback, under Skip Buttons, each of Intro, Ads and Recap can be Manual (show the button), Automatic (skip after a short countdown) or Off.
At the end of an episode
When the credits start, an Up Next card slides in with the next episode and a countdown. Play Now starts it straight away, Dismiss puts the card away, and moving focus stops the countdown.
In Settings, Playback, under Autoplay:
- Countdown: Off, 5, 10 or 20 seconds. Off means the next episode never starts by itself.
- Limit: how many more episodes may play on their own.
- Credits: open the Up Next card when the credits start, show only a Skip Credits button, or wait for the end.
A movie simply ends, and is marked watched.
While paused
Ten seconds into a pause, the screen shows the title, what you are watching, how long is left and when it will end. After a while the title's artwork fades in. Any press brings the picture back.
