Jellyfin for beginners
Jellyfin is the app for watching movies and TV shows stored at home. Open it in a web browser or the Jellyfin app.
Website: stream.saxobroko.com
What you need
- A device with a browser (Windows PC, phone, tablet, smart TV browser)
- Home Wi‑Fi (easiest), or mobile data in Australia
- Your login — stored in Vaultwarden (search
JellyfinorAuthentik)
Step 1 — Open Jellyfin
- Open Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.
- Click the address bar.
- Type: stream.saxobroko.com
- Press Enter.
Step 2 — Log in (if asked)
You may see one or two login screens. That is normal.
Authentik first (common)
- A page says Authentik or sends you to auth.saxobroko.com.
- Enter username and password from Vaultwarden.
- Click Sign in or Continue.
Jellyfin login
- If Jellyfin asks for username and password, use the Jellyfin entry in Vaultwarden.
- Some setups skip this after Authentik — you go straight to the library.
Tip: On the Windows PC, unlock the Bitwarden extension (shield icon) and use autofill.
Step 3 — Find something to watch
- You should see a home screen with posters or a menu.
- Use the menu (☰ or sidebar) to browse:
- Movies
- TV Shows
- Continue watching (if you started something before)
- Click a poster to open the detail page.
- Click Play (▶).
Step 4 — While watching
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Pause | Click the screen or press Space (PC) |
| Full screen | Click the full-screen icon (corners) |
| Subtitles | Click the speech bubble icon → pick a track |
| Volume | Device volume buttons or on-screen slider |
| Stop | Back button or close the player |
Watching on a phone or TV
Phone / tablet
- Install the official Jellyfin app from the App Store or Google Play.
- When asked for Server address, enter:
https://stream.saxobroko.com - Log in with the same accounts as above.
Smart TV
Many TVs have a Jellyfin app, or use the built-in browser and go to stream.saxobroko.com.
If the TV app is confusing, casting from the PC browser often works better.
Request something that is not there
If a movie or show is missing:
- Open request.saxobroko.com — see Request a movie or show.
- Wait — new content is not instant (often hours to a day).
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| Page will not load | When internet is broken |
| Spinning / won't play | When media won't play |
| Forgot password | Vaultwarden → search Jellyfin / Authentik |
| Works on Wi‑Fi, not on phone data abroad | Geo-block — expected outside Australia |
| Old Plex bookmark | Use stream.saxobroko.com only |
