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 — iPhone / iPad · Android phone / tablet · Android TV / Google TV / Fire TV · Apple TV

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.

Connect and open your first library

  1. 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.
  2. Enter https://media.fireani.me in the server-address field and connect. Include https://; do not add /api, /web, a port number or an anime link.
  3. 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.
  4. Open the library matching your preferred video version:
Library nameWhat it contains
Anime · German HardsubJapanese audio with German subtitles already embedded in the picture.
Anime · German DubGerman-dubbed episodes.
Anime · English HardsubJapanese audio with English subtitles embedded in the picture.
  1. Select an anime, season and episode and start playback.
  2. 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

  • 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.
