Getting started

Everything runs through the Moonfin app (it's the player for the family media server). Setup takes about two minutes, and you only do it once per device.

1. Get an account

Ask Braxton for a username and password. The same login works for watching and for requests.

2. Set up Moonfin on your phone or tablet

1. Install the Moonfin app from the App Store or Google Play — or just open moonfin.io in your browser, which works the same way.
2. When it asks for a server address, enter:

3. Sign in with your username and password. That's it — browse and tap anything to play.

3. Watch on a computer or TV

• Computer: open moonfin.io, use the same server address above, and sign in.
• TV: if your TV or streaming stick has a Moonfin or Jellyfin app, add the same server address and sign in.

4. Request a movie or show

1. Go to requests.greathousemedia.duckdns.org and sign in.
2. Search for the title and hit Request.
3. It downloads automatically and shows up in Moonfin when it's ready — usually the same day.

5. Request a book or audiobook

1. Go to books.greathousemedia.duckdns.org and enter the family passcode (ask Braxton for it).
2. Search by title or author, pick Audiobook or Ebook, and hit Request.
3. Listen and read in the Audiobookshelf app or at the library your invite points to — audiobooks and ebooks live in separate libraries inside it.

If something isn't working

• Buffering or stuttering: in the player, open settings and lower the playback quality.
• App won't connect: double-check the server address above — one typo and it can't find the server. The browser version at moonfin.io is a good backup.
• Forgot your password or something looks broken: text Braxton.
