Support

I'm happy to help you get After2AM Cinema running.

After2AM Cinema is a native Apple TV client for Jellyfin. To use it you'll need your own Jellyfin server — After2AM Cinema is the player, your server is the library.

For questions, bug reports, or feedback, email us. I aim to respond within two business days.

What you need

• An Apple TV running a current version of tvOS.
• A running Jellyfin server reachable from your Apple TV, and a Jellyfin user account on it.

Getting started

• Connect to your server. Enter your server address (for example 192.168.1.50:8096), or tap Scan Network to find Jellyfin servers on your local network automatically.
• Sign in. Use your Jellyfin username and password, or Quick Connect — approve a short code from another device without typing your password on the remote.
• Browse and play. Your libraries, Continue Watching, and Next Up appear on the Home screen. Select anything to see details and press Play.

Common questions

Do I need a Jellyfin server?

Yes. After2AM Cinema is a client for Jellyfin and does not provide any media of its own. Jellyfin is free and open-source — see jellyfin.org to set one up.

A video won't play, or the audio is missing.

After2AM Cinema prefers direct play and falls back to transcoding (via your server) for formats the Apple TV can't play natively. If a title won't play, make sure your Jellyfin server is healthy and has transcoding available for that file.

I'm signed out unexpectedly.

If your server's access token expires or is revoked, the app returns you to the sign-in screen. Just sign in again to continue.

Privacy

After2AM Cinema collects no personal data and talks only to your own server. See my Privacy Policy for details.
