Several copies of a title

The same film or episode can exist twice — two releases, or a local file and the same title on your Jellyfin server. Kaveo keeps them as one title with several versions, and remembers the kind you prefer.

The Sources chips on a film's title page: Automatic selected, then Local · 1080p · Sprite Fright (2021).webm and Local · 1080p · WEBDL · DEMO, under the Play, Trailer, My list and Favorite buttons

  1. Open the list: the chips under Sources on a film’s title page, or the versions button on an episode’s row, for example 2 versions.
  2. Each copy says where it is (Local, or Jellyfin and the server’s name), its resolution, and what tells it apart — where the release came from and its release group, or the file name. Rest the pointer on a copy to see its file, or its server’s address.
  3. Click the copy you want: that selects it, it does not start it.
  4. Click Play on a film’s page, or an episode’s row, to open it.

An episode's versions menu, open under its 2 versions button: Automatic selected above the episode's two copies, Local · 1080p · Morevna - S01E03.mp4 and Local · 1080p · DemoSubs

  • A film on your disk and the same film on a server are one card, not two; with only one copy there is no list to open.
  • Your choice is remembered for the title — for a series that means every episode of it, and it still holds the next time you open the show.
  • Choose Automatic, first in the list, to forget your choice and go back to the best copy.
