Jellyfin libraries provide a way to synchronize your media (metadata) from Jellyfin to ErsatzTV. This synchronization process is one-way: changes made within Jellyfin are synchronized to ErsatzTV. ErsatzTV will never make any modifications to your Jellyfin configuration or media.
### Metadata
With Jellyfin libraries, Jellyfin provides all metadata.
### Add Media Items
#### Connect to Server
Connecting to a Jellyfin server requires two settings: the server address and an api key.
##### Server Address
The server address is the address that you type in your web browser to access your Jellyfin server.
##### API Key
To create a Jellyfin API Key, from the `Admin / Dashboard` in Jellyfin, select `Advanced / API Keys` and click the `+` button near the top.

Give the API Key a name like `ErsatzTV` and click `Ok`. The API key is then displayed.

##### Configuration
Finally, in ErsatzTV, under `Media Sources` > `Jellyfin` click the `Connect Jellyfin` button, enter the `Address` and `Api Key` and click `Save Changes` to connect to your Jellyfin server.
#### Synchronize Libraries
After connecting, select which libraries you would like to synchronize from Jellyfin to ErsatzTV by clicking the `Edit Libraries` button for the desired Jellyfin server.
In the libraries listing, click the `Synchronize` switch for all libraries you would like to synchronize from Jellyfin to ErsatzTV, and click the `Save Changes` button to start the synchronization process.
Media items are not streamed from Jellyfin media sources. Instead, ErsatzTV will attempt to play media items from disk using the same path that Jellyfin uses to play the media item.
There are two ways to make this work:
1. Ensure ErsatzTV has access to exactly the same shares and mounts as Jellyfin
2. Configure path replacements to tell ErsatzTV where it should look on its file system for a given Jellyfin folder
Option 1 is recommended as it will "just work" without any further configuration.
To configure path replacements for a Jellyfin media source, click the `Edit Path Replacements` button in the
