Jellyfin server feature matrix
Some JellyRock features need a newer Jellyfin server. This page shows which server version each one needs.
Features that need a server plugin are in Jellyfin server plugins.

What Jellyfin 12 adds, and how to use it, is in Jellyfin 12.
The SyncPlay row is for HTTP servers. On an HTTPS server, SyncPlay needs Jellyfin 10.11 or later and the JellyRock Companion plugin.
Quick Connect
Section titled “Quick Connect”Quick Connect works on every server version JellyRock supports.
On Jellyfin 10.8 and later, JellyRock hides the Quick Connect button when your server has the feature turned off. On 10.7 the button always shows, and a dialog tells you if Quick Connect is unavailable.
Media segments
Section titled “Media segments”Media segments let JellyRock skip intros, outros, recaps, previews and commercials. They need Jellyfin 10.10 or later; 10.9 and earlier do not have the feature.
Your server also needs a media segment provider plugin to find the segments. See Media segments for the plugins JellyRock is tested with, how to choose what happens for each segment type, and troubleshooting.
Collections row
Section titled “Collections row”An item’s details page lists the collections it belongs to, so you can open a collection from any movie, series or episode in it. It needs Jellyfin 12.0 or later; 10.11 and earlier do not have the feature.
Only collections the item was added to directly are listed. An episode shows the collections that episode is in, not the ones its series is in.
Collections view
Section titled “Collections view”A movie or TV library’s View menu gains a Collections entry that lists the collections in that library. Opening one shows what it contains, the same as opening it from the top-level Collections library.
It needs Jellyfin 12.0 or later. On 10.11 and earlier, JellyRock does not offer it: those servers ignore which library was asked about, so the list would mix in collections from your other libraries.
Playlists are not listed here. A playlist belongs to you, not to a library, and can hold items from several libraries. It stays in the top-level Playlists library.
Language filters
Section titled “Language filters”A movie library’s Filter menu gains Audio Language and Subtitle Language, which list the languages that library has.
They need Jellyfin 12.0 or later. On 10.11 and earlier, JellyRock does not offer them: those servers accept the filter and then ignore it, so you would get your whole library back.
A language spelled two ways in your files is one entry in the list, and picking it finds both. For example, Jellyfin knows French as both fra and fre.
Which version to run
Section titled “Which version to run”- Minimum: Jellyfin 10.7.0. Every essential feature works.
- Recommended: Jellyfin 10.10.0 or later, for media segments. Trickplay thumbnails and song lyrics need 10.9.0 or later.
JellyRock will keep supporting Jellyfin 10.7.x.
