Tips, updates, and guides from the JellyWatch team.
The Jellyfin dashboard is where everything happens - users, libraries, plugins, transcoding, networking. This complete admin reference explains every section, which settings matter, and how to configure them for a real-world setup.
You left Plex. Your media is on Jellyfin or Emby. Everything works, except you have no idea who is watching what. Tautulli was your dashboard for years and it does not work with anything except Plex. This guide covers every replacement option: JellyWatch for mobile monitoring with push notifications, Jellystat for web-based analytics, Streamystats for lightweight stats, and how to combine them for complete visibility.
Jellystat is the free, open-source statistics dashboard for Jellyfin. It gives you everything Tautulli gives Plex users: per-user watch history, most-played content, playback method breakdown, and a beautiful web dashboard. This guide covers Docker setup, API connection, and getting the most out of your data.
