Moonfin for Roku builds on the foundation of the official Jellyfin Roku client with targeted UI and UX improvements for the living room. Seerr setup has its own page, see Seerr Setup.

Cross-server content playback

• Unified library support so content from multiple Jellyfin servers plays seamlessly in one app.
• Switch between servers without losing your place.
• Improved server selection logic when the same title exists on more than one server.

Seerr integration

Moonfin is the first Roku client with native Seerr support, and it works with both Seerr and Jellyseerr servers. Setup goes through the Moonfin server plugin, see Seerr Setup.

• Browse trending, popular, and recommended movies and shows, filtered by genre, studio, network, or keyword.
• Request content in HD or 4K directly from your Roku, with smart season selection for shows.
• View all your pending, approved, and available requests.
• Seerr home rows for trending, popular, upcoming, and your recent requests.
• Optional NSFW content filtering using Seerr and TMDB metadata.
• Authenticate with your Jellyfin login, which saves a permanent local API key.
• Global search includes Seerr results, with rich backdrop images for a cinematic discovery experience.

Server plugin sync

Requires the Moonfin server plugin, which is also what makes Seerr connectivity possible.

• Bidirectional settings sync between the app and the server plugin (PushToServer and PullFromServer).
• Settings persist across devices, so a new Roku picks up the preferences you already set.
• Server-synced ratings and user preferences shared with every other Moonfin client.
• Sync covers the detail and home rows styles, Since You Watched and Rewatch settings, cinema mode, autoplay, the Seerr NSFW block, the next up timeout, and colors.
• Hidden Continue Watching and Next Up items sync from the server and stay hidden on Roku.
• A server-pushed home row order from the plugin is respected on the home screen.

Theming

• Built-in Moonfin, Neon Pulse, and 8-Bit Hero themes with bundled fonts.
• A community Theme Store, fetched from the Moonfin-Client/Themes GitHub repo.
• Server-shared themes through the Moonbase plugin, so a whole server can use the same look.
• Your theme choice syncs across devices.
