New files on a server

What it is for

A file you copy onto your Jellyfin server yourself, such as a subtitle beside an episode, stays invisible until the server looks for it. Kaveo can ask the server to look.

How to use it

1. For one title, right-click its card or click ⋯ on its page or its episode row, and choose Scan for new files on the server. On a series it covers every episode.
2. While an episode plays, right-click the picture and open Subtitles › Tools › Look for new subtitle files on the server. Kaveo waits up to half a minute and says how many new files appeared.
3. For everything, click Scan libraries on the Sources page.

Good to know

• Only a Jellyfin administrator account can ask for a scan; any other account is told so.
• The library updates by itself when the server finishes. Reload only asks the server again for what it already lists.
