What is Jellystat?

Jellystat is a statistics and analytics dashboard for Jellyfin Media Server. It records every play, pause, and stop, tracks user activity per device and library, generates visual reports, and gives you the kind of insight that Tautulli provides for Plex — but built native for Jellyfin.

Features

• 📊 Watch history tracking — full playback log per user, item, and device
• 📈 User activity dashboards — most active users, popular content, peak times
• 🎬 Library breakdowns — what's being watched per library, content type stats
• 📱 Device and player analytics — track playback quality and client device usage
• 📋 Historical retention — long-term data preserved across Jellyfin upgrades
• 🎨 Modern visual dashboards — charts, graphs, and trend visualisations

Jellystat in Your Media Stack

• 📺 Jellyfin Media Server — connects via Jellyfin's API to record events
• 📊 Plex users — for Plex servers, use Tautulli instead (Jellystat is Jellyfin-only)
• 📨 Notifiarr — pair with Notifiarr to send Jellystat events to Discord

Why ElfHosted?

Self-hosting Jellystat requires a PostgreSQL database (or running its bundled SQLite, which doesn't scale well for large libraries) plus a working Jellyfin API connection. The common failure: Jellystat installs fine, connects to Jellyfin, but the Jellyfin Webhook plugin isn't configured to send events to Jellystat — so the dashboard shows zero activity even though playback is happening. ElfHosted ships Jellystat pre-wired to your Jellyfin instance with the webhook plugin configured automatically.

• 🔗 Pre-wired to your ElfHosted Jellyfin — webhook plugin pre-configured
• 🗄️ Managed PostgreSQL — no database to set up or back up yourself
• 🚀 No Docker setup — runs alongside your media stack

FAQ

How is Jellystat different from Jellyfin's built-in stats?
Jellyfin's native dashboard shows current activity. Jellystat retains historical data, generates trend reports, and tracks per-user behaviour over time.

Does Jellystat work with Emby?
No — Jellystat is Jellyfin-only. Emby has its own statistics dashboard that's accessible from the admin UI.
