Troubleshooting and help for the JammyMusic player for Jellyfin — on iPhone, Apple Watch, and CarPlay.
JammyMusic connects to your own Jellyfin server. Most issues come down to the server connection, your network, or downloaded-content (offline) mode.
192.168.1.50:8096).http:// address on your local network.This means the app can't currently reach your server, so it's showing only the music you've downloaded to the device.
Open an album or playlist, tap the + / options button, and choose Download. Downloads continue in the background, so you can keep browsing and playing while they finish.
Downloaded files are organized by Artist and Album and remain available in Offline Mode. Logging out keeps your downloads; deleting a download removes only that item.
The Watch app can play music downloaded to the Watch, stream directly from your server, or control playback on your iPhone. It gets your account and library from the iPhone app the first time, then works on its own.
Open an album, artist, or playlist on the Watch and tap the download button. Albums, artists, and playlists are all supported. The Watch downloads in two ways automatically:
Downloads continue in the background — you can lower your wrist or switch apps and they keep going. Reopen the Watch app to see progress and the "downloaded" checkmarks. Keep the Watch on its charger for large downloads.
Once downloaded, that music plays on the Watch even with the iPhone away.
To stream or download on the Watch away from home, your Jellyfin server has to be reachable from outside your home network. A plain home address like 192.168.x.x only works on your home Wi-Fi.
Whatever address you sign in with on the iPhone is the one the Watch uses, so point the app at an address that works both at home and away.
JammyMusic works in CarPlay, including when the app wasn't already running. It shares your account with the iPhone app.
JammyMusic connects only to the Jellyfin server you configure. Your login is stored securely in the device Keychain and used to talk to your server. The app does not sell or share your listening data.
If these steps didn't solve it, send me a note. Please include your device model, iOS version, and a short description of what happened.
