Support

Up Next is an independent Jellyfin client for Apple TV. Your movies and series come from the server you connect to.

Connect your server

Enter your Jellyfin hostname or IP address, including the port and base path if your server needs them. For example: 192.168.1.20:8096. Up Next tries HTTPS first when you leave out the scheme. You can enter a complete https:// or http:// URL to choose explicitly.

Sign in with your Jellyfin username and password. The app saves the session securely in Keychain; you do not need to sign in on every launch.

Cannot reach the server?

• Check that the Apple TV and your server can reach each other on the network.
• Confirm the hostname, port and any reverse-proxy base path.
• Open the server from another device to check that it is running.
• For HTTPS, use a certificate trusted by your Apple TV.
• Check that your Jellyfin user is allowed to access the library.

Playback help

Direct playback depends on the video, audio, subtitles and your Apple TV model. Up Next requests server transcoding when a compatible direct source is unavailable. Check that Jellyfin permits transcoding for your user and that the server can encode quickly enough.

During playback, audio and subtitle choices use the player menus. Optional playback information shows the playback method and stream details. If playback fails, try Retry and check your Jellyfin server’s transcoding log.

Your next episode

Series are ordered by the date their newest episode arrived. Opening a series prioritises an unfinished episode, then the next unwatched episode in story order. Browse Episodes lets you choose another episode.

Contact

Email upnext@toskaas.com with your Apple TV model, tvOS version, Up Next version, Jellyfin version and a short description of the problem. For playback issues, include codec and playback-method information if available.
