Select the Jellyfin add-on and choose install.

Choose 'Kodi Jellyfin Add-ons', followed by 'Video Add-ons'.

From within Kodi, navigate to 'Add-on Browser'.

When the server updates an item, it will send a notification to Kodi over a websocket connection that it has new media that needs to be updated.

Live sync - This happens while Kodi is running.

Startup sync - Each time Kodi starts, it will reach out to the Kodi Sync Queue plugin in the server and request all updated media since it's last checkin time (when Kodi was last shut down).

Media in Kodi's database is automatically kept in sync with the server in one of several ways: However, it also assumes that it's the only media source and in largely incompatible with other media sources that interact with Kodi's database. This means that our Jellyfin content will be displayed on the home screen under the proper media headings by default, it has virtually no delay while interacting with the library, etc. This has the effect of making interacting with it feel very much like vanilla Kodi with local media. This add-on syncs metadata from selected Jellyfin libraries into the local Kodi database. A local SQLite database is required (this is the default). Remote Kodi databases, like MySQL, are not supported.

From the settings menu, navigate to 'Add-on Browser'.

Enter a name for the data source, such as 'Jellyfin Repo' and select Ok.

Open Kodi, go to the settings menu, and navigate to 'File manager'.

Download the repository installer found here.The installation method for the repository varies depending on what kind of device you're using, outlined below. Any other Jellyfin related add-ons that may be built in the future will also be available here. Using this repository allows for easy install of our add-ons, as well as automatically keeping the add-ons up to date with the latest version. The most convenient install method of our Jellyfin add-ons is to use the official Kodi Jellyfin Repository. By not having metadata synced, it has to request info from the server which can take a bit more time when you're browsing (typically only a second or two in my testing), but you don't have to wait for the database to sync or keep it up to date. It also allows easier switching between multiple Jellyfin servers or users since it doesn't have to rely on syncing all the metadata down. Media is accessed primarily by going through the Add-ons -> Jell圜on menu, however you can set up menu options to link to it and show info on the home screen. Jell圜on - Behaves more like a standard Kodi streaming add-on.The sync process can take some extra time on Kodi startup if you don't leave it running 24/7, but it's mostly in the background while Kodi is running. However, it also tends to consume the database and not share well, so if you have local media or something else that interacts with the database directly, you'll have conflicts and it won't be happy. This has the effect of making interacting with it feel very much like vanilla Kodi with local media (shows up under Movies/TV Shows on the home screen by default, virtually no delay, etc). Jellyfin for Kodi - This add-on syncs metadata from selected Jellyfin libraries into the local Kodi database.There are two different Kodi add-ons that serve slightly different use cases.
