Which server address and login do I use in a Jellyfin client?
Use https://media.fireani.me as the Jellyfin server and your existing FireAnime username and password. You do not need to run your own Jellyfin server; the official desktop app instead uses https://fireani.me.
Covered in this guide: Jellyfin-compatible apps · Streamyfin · Swiftfin · Findroid · Astra · Moonfin — iPhone / iPad · Android phone / tablet · Android TV / Google TV / Fire TV · Apple TV · Fire TV with Vega OS
Why is this app asking for a server?
Streamyfin, Swiftfin, Findroid and Jellyfin for Android TV are separate players that connect to a media library. FireAnime provides the compatible server; you do not need to install Jellyfin Server on a computer or add your own video files.
Install the right client first: iPhone/iPad, Apple TV, or a client listed on the compatibility page. You need a FireAnime account. An account on someone else's Jellyfin server is not automatically a FireAnime account.
For Fire TV, check the operating system first: Jellyfin for Android TV requires Android TV, Google TV or compatible Fire OS. It cannot run on Vega OS. On Stick 4K Select, Stick HD (2026) or Stick 4K (3rd generation, 2026), start with Astra on Vega OS 1.2 or later, or try Moonfin. Both developers list Vega editions in the Appstore. A user has reported that Astra worked with FireAnime, but their exact setup is unknown; Moonfin with FireAnime on Vega remains unverified. The server address and FireAnime password sign-in below are the setup to try.
| App asking for an address | Enter |
|---|---|
| A supported Jellyfin-compatible client | https://media.fireani.me |
| Official FireAnime Desktop | https://fireani.me — use desktop setup |
Connect and open your first library
- Open the client's add-server screen. In Streamyfin, choose Add server when saved servers are shown; other clients use their own server-add action.
- Enter
https://media.fireani.mein the server-address field and connect. Includehttps://; do not add/api,/web, a port number or an anime link. - Use username/password sign-in with your existing FireAnime credentials. If a user list is empty, use the manual/add-user action rather than waiting for your name to appear publicly.
- Open the library matching your preferred video version:
| Library name | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Anime · German Hardsub | Japanese audio with German subtitles already embedded in the picture. |
| Anime · German Dub | German-dubbed episodes. |
| Anime · English Hardsub | Japanese audio with English subtitles embedded in the picture. |
- Select an anime, season and episode and start playback.
- If the language is wrong, return to the libraries and open the other version. A subtitle toggle cannot translate or remove subtitles embedded in the video.
What a successful connection looks like
The client displays FireAnime's libraries and opens episodes without a separate media-server installation. Your FireAnime account remains the identity used for supported personal features; the client controls the layout and player.
For iOS offline viewing, continue with Streamyfin downloads, not a generic server-administration tutorial.
Find the step that failed
- No Jellyfin app is offered on your Fire TV: Check whether the stick runs Vega OS. An Android TV APK is incompatible; check the Vega client alternative and its device availability.
- Local discovery finds nothing: Enter the public server address manually. FireAnime is not a server in your home network.
- The server cannot be reached: Recheck the exact address and internet connection. Opening the bare address in a browser may show a setup guide; it is not a Jellyfin web player.
- Server connected, password rejected: Try the same credentials on FireAnime's sign-in page. If they fail there too, use login help. If they work there, record the client and exact message for support.
- A pairing code appears: Jellyfin Quick Connect is not the official FireAnime QR/code flow. This guide uses username/password; do not submit that code to FireAnime's official-app activation page.
- Libraries load, one video fails: Use playback troubleshooting. Changing the server address is not a source-selection tool.
- A Jellyfin tutorial mentions admin plugins or transcoding settings: Those instructions are for people running their own server. They are not setup requirements for FireAnime.
Compatibility does not promise every feature of a full Jellyfin server or every control from the FireAnime website. In particular, use the website's integrated player for Watch Together.
