Initial Setup

Jellyfin Is a Free and Open Source Media System forked from Emby's 3.5.2 and ported to the .NET Core framework to enable full cross-platform support. It is slowly becoming one of the great alternatives to closed sourced solutions such as Plex, Emby, and Kodi to serve media from our slots to you via multiple apps.

For more information about this app, you may visit this link.

In this guidesection, we will detail the initial configuration of Jellyfin. This assumes that you have the following:

  • An UltaSeedboxUltra.cc service of at least Jaguar-PlexTank tier or higher
