How It Works

  • You earn XP by watching movies and episodes on your server.
  • XP accumulates toward the next level.
  • Certain milestones unlock badges displayed on your profile.
  • Your level and badge are visible in the sidebar avatar header when the drawer is expanded.

Achievement Unlock Overlay

When you unlock a new achievement, a pop-up overlay appears above the current screen (outside the player) to celebrate the unlock. It dismisses automatically after a few seconds.

Sync

Achievements are synced with the JellyWatch backend:

  • Progress is loaded from the server on login.
  • Local progress is synced back when the app is foregrounded or after playback.
  • If the device has been offline, progress syncs as soon as connectivity is restored.

Enabling / Disabling

Gamification can be toggled in Settings. When disabled, the Achievements nav item is hidden and no unlock overlays are shown.
