Set up your server

Square Eyes talks to a Jellyfin server. If you already have one, you only need its address and your usual login.

What you need

Jellyfin 10.10 or newer. Skip Intro needs 10.10+ for media segments.
The address of your server — jellyfin.example.com, or 192.168.1.20:8096 on your own network.
Your Jellyfin username and password — the same ones you use in a browser.

For the full home screen

Rows come from the Home Screen Sections plugin. Without it Square Eyes still works and falls back to its own rows, but the server-built shelves are the point.

In Jellyfin: Dashboard → Plugins → Catalogue, add the Home Screen Sections repository, install, restart.
File Transformation and Plugin Pages are required alongside it.
Give your rows an explicit order in the plugin settings. Left on the default, most rows share one order value and shuffle between launches.

For Skip Intro

Install Intro Skipper and let it analyse your library. Segments appear over time as files are scanned, so an empty result on a fresh install is normal rather than broken. Many episodes have an outro and no intro; that is also normal.

For requesting

Point Square Eyes at a Seerr instance in settings. Until you do, the request button does not appear anywhere in the app.

Every step here happens on hardware you own. None of it involves us.
