Kaveo documentation

Kaveo is a media player with a built-in library: it plays your local files and can connect to servers like Jellyfin, but it also works as a plain, fast player — open a file and it plays. This guide is organised by what you are trying to do.

  • Getting started — your first minutes with Kaveo.
  • Your library — browse, organise and correct the titles Kaveo finds, and look at your own photos and videos.
  • Watching — the player, next episode, skipping, screenshots and HDR output.
  • Subtitles — load, sync, edit and translate them.
  • Sources — where your titles come from.
  • Organizing files — naming, imports, and several copies of a title.
  • Private titles — keep titles and photos encrypted and out of the library until you unlock them.
  • From your file manager — play or file a video, or open a photo, with a right-click.
  • Command line — start Kaveo on a file, a photo or a folder from a terminal.
  • Keyboard shortcuts — every key and mouse button the player answers to.
  • Settings — a reference page for each section of the settings screen.
  • Troubleshooting — the messages Kaveo shows, and what to send when you report a problem.
  • Credits — the people and projects whose work appears in these pages.
