JellyRock Companion
A plugin for your Jellyfin server, not for your Roku. A few JellyRock features need it, depending on your server.
Do I need it?
It depends on your Jellyfin server's address: does it start with http:// or https://?
| Feature | HTTP server | HTTPS server |
|---|---|---|
| Cast from another Jellyfin app | Not needed | Needed |
| Cast while JellyRock is closed | Needed | Needed |
| Fast cleanup after you press Home | Not needed | Needed |
| SyncPlay (watch together) | Not needed | Needed |
What it does
Cast from another Jellyfin app
Cast from a Jellyfin app on your phone or browser to an open JellyRock, then pause, seek and skip from there.
- Needs JellyRock 2.23 or later
Cast while JellyRock is closed
Cast from a Jellyfin app to your Roku while JellyRock is closed, when your server is on the same network as the Roku.
- Needs JellyRock 2.24 or later
Fast cleanup after you press Home
Press Home on your Roku mid-playback and your server ends the session within a minute instead of 5 to 10 minutes.
- Needs JellyRock 2.23 or later
SyncPlay (watch together)
Watch together in a Jellyfin SyncPlay group, and the group stops waiting on your Roku once you close JellyRock.
- Needs JellyRock 3.3 or later
Install it
It installs on Jellyfin 10.11 or later.
