You already host Jellyfin
The sidecar sits next to that server. There is nothing to connect if you do not run one.
Optional add-on
You do not need Jellyfin to use RecaFlix
Ratings and likes are enough. Connect a sidecar later only if you want library watch history in ranking.
Optional integration
How to add it when you want it
Three steps if you already run Jellyfin. Zero steps if you do not.
- 01
Skip it if you do not host Jellyfin
Genres, favorites, ratings, and Swipe are enough. You can stay unconnected forever and still get recommendations.
- 02
Install the sidecar on your LAN
When you do host Jellyfin, run the RecaFlix sidecar next to it. It talks to your server on your network, not through our cloud.
- 03
Link it from Settings
Connect from onboarding or Settings → Jellyfin Server. You can disconnect later without losing the ratings you already trained.
When to connect
Connect only if this sounds like you
Ranking and privacy details live on the library-aware lander. This page is the yes-or-no.
You want seen titles respected
Watch history can join ranking so finished titles do not keep coming back as fresh picks.
You would rather stay ratings-only
Skip the sidecar. RecaFlix keeps learning from stars, likes, dislikes, and Swipe.
