Where to Find Official Jellyfin Links from the Jellyfin Forum

Updated

The Jellyfin Forum is a discussion site, not the project's main documentation hub. Its header and footer navigation include links out to the official Jellyfin website, GitHub, status page, translation site, and features/team pages, plus the forum's own Rules and Help pages. Use those links when you need project resources; use the forum itself when you need to ask or read a discussion.

The official links in the forum navigation

The forum's top and bottom navigation bars carry the same set of links. Based on the forum's navigation, they are:

Link What it points to When to use it
Website The main Jellyfin project site General project information and entry point
GitHub The project's code repository Source code, issues, and development activity
Status The project status page Checking service or project status
Translation The translation site Contributing or checking translations
Features The project's features page Seeing what Jellyfin offers
Team The project's team page Learning who works on the project
Rules The forum rules Before posting, to know what's allowed
Help The forum help pages When you're unsure how to use the forum

The same block appears twice on the page — once at the top and once at the bottom — so you don't need to scroll back up to reach these links.

Where the forum fits in

The forum is organized for discussion, and the navigation reflects that. Below the header links, the index splits into three groups:

  • Announcements — forum policies and rules, plus project announcements about new releases and blog posts.
  • Support — Guides, Walkthroughs & Tutorials; Themes & Styles; General Questions; and Troubleshooting (with sub-forums for Networking & Access and Media Scanning & Identification).
  • Development — Feature Requests, Server Development, Web Development, Plugin Development, Packaging, and Client Development (with sub-forums for Android, Android TV, Roku, and more).

There is also an Off Topic section for General Discussion. If your goal is to read release news, the Project Announcements section is the place; if you want to report or discuss a problem, Troubleshooting and its sub-forums are the relevant entry points.

A practical way to use these links

  1. Start from the forum header or footer and open Website if you need general project information, or GitHub if you need code or issue tracking.
  2. Check Status before assuming an outage is on your side, and Features before asking whether something is supported.
  3. Read Rules before your first post, and use Help if the posting interface is unclear.
  4. Return to the forum's Support sections to ask questions or search existing threads.

One caveat: the forum navigation tells you where these resources live, but it doesn't describe their contents. Treat the links as entry points and read the destination pages for specifics.
