Tips, updates, and guides from the JellyWatch team.
Emby Premiere unlocks hardware transcoding, mobile sync, and premium features. Break down the monthly, yearly, and lifetime pricing, what you actually get, and whether it is worth it versus Jellyfin free.
The Intel N100 dominated budget Jellyfin servers. Now the N150 and upcoming successors push performance further. Compare specs, transcoding benchmarks, and find out if it is time to upgrade your media server.
qBittorrent 5.2.1 patches a high-severity SSRF vulnerability and fixes startup crashes, on top of the major 5.2.0 feature update with free disk space display, tracker status filters, and reboot automation. Here is what to know before upgrading.
Add a Netflix-style Skip Intro button to Jellyfin. This complete guide covers the correct repository, installation, the settings that matter, the initial analysis and its CPU cost, client compatibility, and how to fix detection that fails.
Turn your Jellyfin library into a private 200-inch VR cinema. This guide covers dedicated Jellyfin VR apps like JellyVR and JellyQuest, VR players such as Skybox over DLNA or SMB, and Bigscreen for watching together, plus the network setup that makes it smooth.
3D movies showing as two squashed images in Jellyfin? Learn how 3D files are packed (SBS, Half-SBS, Top-Bottom), why Jellyfin streams but the device renders the 3D, and the playback routes that actually work in 2026 with VR headsets, projectors, and Kodi.
The third-party Jellyfin plugin repositories worth adding in 2026, with manifest URLs, step-by-step instructions for adding and managing them, how to find any repository URL yourself, and the security considerations that actually matter.
The Raspberry Pi 5 with an NVMe HAT finally solves the Pi storage bottleneck. But does it make the Pi 5 a viable Jellyfin server in 2026? We benchmarked library scan speed, metadata loading, Direct Play performance, and compared it head-to-head against the Intel N100 mini PC. Includes NVMe HAT installation, Docker setup, and honest recommendations for when the Pi 5 is enough and when you should spend $50 more on an N100.
Autopulse is a lightweight file-watching service that triggers targeted Jellyfin library scans the instant a new file appears. No more waiting for scheduled scans. No more full library rescans that spike CPU. A movie finishes downloading and appears in Jellyfin within seconds. This guide covers Docker setup, filesystem monitoring, Jellyfin API integration, and how Autopulse replaces the need for Radarr/Sonarr Connect notifications.
