What is Jellyfin?
Jellyfin is the app that plays our shared movies and TV shows. Everyone sees the same library. Your watch progress, favorites, and Continue Watching belong to your own account.
Sign in with your account
Open movies.plosca.ru in a new tab in your browser. Use the username and password you were given.
- Enter your username.
Type it in the User field. Use your Jellyfin account, rather than your email address.
- Enter your password.
Copy and paste it if you have it in a message. Passwords are case-sensitive.
- Choose Sign In.
Remember Me is useful on your own device. Turn it off on a shared computer.
No account yet, or forgot the password? Ask the person who invited you. They can create an account or reset it.
Watch something already here
Start with Movies or TV Shows. Everything in these sections is already in the shared library.
For a movie, open its cover and choose Play.
For a TV show, open the show, choose a season, then an episode. Play starts that episode.
Stopped halfway through? Open Continue Watching on the home screen to pick up where you left off.
Need subtitles or a different language? While the video plays, open the subtitle or audio controls. Choose from the tracks available for that title.
Find something new in Discover
Use Discover when the movie or show you want is missing. It searches for versions you can add to the shared library.
Browse what is already here.
Find something to add.
- Open Discover, then search for a movie or TV show by name. Add the year if several titles have the same name.
- Open the cover to read about the title and see the available versions. Searching and opening a title do not start a download.
- Choose the version you want. For TV, check the season and whether the version contains one episode, a whole season, or several seasons.
Choose the season before the version
The Season buttons belong to the show you opened. A Box sets option can contain several seasons.
Quality describes the picture. 720p usually means smaller files. 1080p is sharper. 4K needs more space and a faster connection.
Unsure what to pick? Keep the quality that is already selected. Check the season and the size before choosing Download & watch.
The size in GB is the whole download. A season pack can include many episodes.
The two download buttons
Starts the download and prepares playback before it finishes. Wait for View movie or View episode to appear.
Starts the download without preparing early playback. Watch it once it is ready in the library.
These are button examples. Nothing on this guide starts a download.
Seeing "Discover is not enabled for this account"? Ask the person who manages the server to enable Discover for your account. You can still watch the existing library.
Follow the download
Open Downloads inside Discover to check progress. The file downloads to the shared server, so you can close the browser while you wait.
What the messages mean
ExampleYour chosen movie
Preparing playback
View movieThe download has started. Jellyfin is waiting for enough of the file to prepare playback. You do not need to press Download again.
Select a stage to learn about it. This is an illustration, not a real download.
View movie or View episode means you can start. With early playback, the rest can still be downloading. Skipping far ahead may make playback pause while it catches up.
Ready to watch means the title is available in the library. TV episodes can become ready one at a time while the rest of a season downloads.
Changed your mind? For an unfinished download, use Cancel download in Downloads and read the confirmation. It can remove downloaded files and playable parts that others may be using.
Watch on a phone or TV
The browser is the easiest place to start. For a TV or a separate app, choose a Jellyfin app for your device.
https://movies.plosca.ruEnter that full address, including https://. Then sign in with the same username and password. Your watch progress follows your account.
Use Discover in a browser to find and add titles. Watch completed titles in your Jellyfin phone, desktop, or TV app.

My password does not work
Check the username and any capital letters in the password. If you pasted it, remove any space before or after it. Ask the person who gave you the account to reset it if you still cannot sign in.
I cannot find Discover
Open Discover in your browser in a new tab. On a phone, look near the bottom of the page. Refresh an older open Jellyfin tab. Discover is a browser addition, so it may not appear in your TV or phone app.
If it says your account is not enabled, ask the server administrator for access.
The search found the wrong movie or nothing at all
Check the spelling, try the title with its release year, or clear the filters. Filters for Movies, TV, quality, or download size can hide results. Some titles have no available download.
The download is slow or playback keeps pausing
Open Downloads to see whether the file is still downloading. Early playback may need more time, especially after skipping ahead. You can wait for the download to finish before watching. If a finished title keeps pausing, try a lower playback quality or ask the server administrator.
I pressed Download, but the title is not in Movies yet
Check Downloads for the progress or a View movie button. Jellyfin needs time to prepare and add the title. Do not start another copy while the first is still downloading. If the download shows an error, share the title and the message with the server administrator.
Where are the subtitles?
Start the movie or episode and open the player's subtitle control. Select a language from the available tracks. Some versions have no subtitles in the language you want.
