A key for your box, for new drives When you put a new drive into the box, the box adds its film and series folders to your existing libraries; for this it asks for a key once. In the menu on the left of the „Dashboard”, under „Advanced”, open the „API Keys” page. Select „New API Key”. In the „App name” field, type felhom and select „Create”. If the „Connect now” button shows up on the Felhom dashboard, press it. Frequently asked questions Why can I not see the new film? Check that the file is in the media/movies folder and that the folder is named after the film's title and year, for example Nosferatu (1922). If you are in a hurry, select „Scan All Libraries” on the „Dashboard” page. It recognised the wrong film. How do I fix it? Open the film, choose „Identify” in its menu, and search for the right title. Can I delete a film from Jellyfin? No: Jellyfin only reads the drive. You delete in the file browser, in Radarr or in Sonarr. Do I need a subscription, and can I reach it away from home? Jellyfin is free; no subscription is needed. Away from home you watch on jellyfin.tester4.test too, with your own user. What is the key named felhom for? With it, the box adds a new drive's folders to Jellyfin and, before a restart, checks whether someone is watching. Without the key, you add the new folders yourself.
