Our verdict on JellyCon

JellyCon connects Kodi to a Jellyfin server so people can browse and play movies, TV shows, music videos, music, and Live TV. It is aimed at Jellyfin users who want server libraries available as a Kodi media source, with items retrieved dynamically instead of synced into Kodi’s local database. Multiple Jellyfin accounts are supported, making it useful for households or setups that switch between accounts. Its focus is a Jellyfin-to-Kodi path rather than a general-purpose add-on for media sources beyond Jellyfin.

Browsing and navigation are central to the add-on. JellyCon can expose library links and media lists as shortcuts or home-screen widgets in customizable Kodi skins, so users can bring selected Jellyfin content into their Kodi home screen. Login options include server detection, Quick Connect, and manual credentials. This combination suits people who want a flexible browsing layer and several ways to connect; users who specifically need metadata stored in Kodi’s local database should consider a different approach, since JellyCon retrieves items dynamically.

JellyCon is free, with no paid tier described, and is documented for installation through the Kodi Jellyfin add-on repository, a third-party repository. The listed platform is Kodi, while deployment is self-hosted: the add-on connects to a Jellyfin server. This makes it a practical fit for existing Jellyfin and Kodi users who value dynamic library access and Live TV playback. It is less suited to people seeking an all-in-one hosted media service or a Kodi library workflow centered on local metadata synchronization.
