Meet JellyGoblin

JellyGoblin is a real Jellyfin server, hosted and run by ElfHosted, paired with the Gelato plugin and your own AIOStreams instance. Gelato brings the streams AIOStreams finds into your Jellyfin library, so titles show up and play like anything else you own. You search, you press play, and any Jellyfin app on your phone, TV or tablet does the rest. Learn more on the official Jellyfin website: jellyfin.org.

The sources come with it. The bundle includes a TorBox Essential account, a Usenet provider, and Debridge, which routes each request between them and falls back to another source when one comes up empty. One subscription, one bill.

Because it's a full Jellyfin server, you keep the things only Jellyfin has: the plugin ecosystem, your own users, and room for a library of your own files beside the virtual one.

Why JellyGoblin Makes Life Easier

• No separate debrid or Usenet signup. TorBox Essential and a Usenet provider are part of the bundle.
• The library builds itself from AIOStreams, so you don't curate titles one by one.
• It works with the Jellyfin apps you already use, from the official ones to Infuse and Swiftfin.
• Debridge retries a failed source elsewhere instead of leaving you staring at an error.
• Jellyfin users and parental controls let each person in the house have their own account.

Product Highlights

A proper media server. This is Jellyfin itself, so plugins, user accounts and Jellyfin's parental controls all work as normal.

AIOStreams as the engine. Your private AIOStreams instance combines, filters and ranks results from the sources you enable, and Gelato turns them into Jellyfin movie and series libraries.

Bundled sources. A TorBox Essential account and a Usenet provider are included, with Debridge moving requests between them.

Right-sized for a small household. JellyGoblin runs on shared hardware sized for two HD streams or one 4K stream at a time. Bigger households, or anyone who wants dedicated hardware, can step up to the Hobbit tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does JellyGoblin transcode?
No. It direct plays, so your player decodes the file itself. TV, phone and streaming-box apps handle almost everything, 4K and HEVC included. In a browser, pick an H.264 release. If you need hardware transcoding, look at the Hobbit tier and above.

Do I need my own debrid or Usenet account?
No. JellyGoblin comes with a TorBox Essential account and a bundled Usenet provider. Check your email after subscribing to confirm the TorBox account.

Which apps can I watch on?
Any Jellyfin client: the official Jellyfin apps, Infuse, Swiftfin and others, on phones, tablets and TVs.

How many people can watch at once?
JellyGoblin is sized for two HD streams or one 4K stream at a time on shared hardware. If you need more, the Hobbit tier gives you dedicated resources.

What does "contended" mean?
Your server shares hardware with other customers rather than having resources reserved for you alone. It suits small families and light use.

How is this different from JellyStreams?
JellyStreams is a purpose-built Jellyfin-compatible server with household extras like screen-time caps. JellyGoblin is Jellyfin itself, with the plugin ecosystem and room for your own files alongside the addon library.

JellyGoblin is Jellyfin with a library that fills itself from AIOStreams, with TorBox Essential, a Usenet provider and Debridge all included.

Add JellyGoblin to your ElfHosted subscription and press play from any Jellyfin app.
