SETUP GUIDE

Gelato + AIOStreams: setup guide

Before you begin: start with a small setup and check that playback works before you add more addons, catalogs, and filters. Less is more.

Contents

• Step 1: Set up AIOStreams
• Step 2: Install the Gelato plugin
• Step 3: Run the setup assistant
• Step 4: Test search and playback
• Step 5: Catalogs in depth (optional)
• More tips

---

Step 1: Set up AIOStreams

Set up AIOStreams. There's a public instance at:

https://aiostreams.elfhosted.com/stremio/configure

Note: Gelato supports only AIOStreams. I strongly recommend hosting it yourself: you get full control and its logs, which help a lot when something goes wrong.

A. Turn on a debrid provider (required)

Go to Services, select your debrid provider, select the cogwheel, and enter your debrid API token.

Then go to the Metadata tab and enter your TMDB and TVDB keys and tokens.

---

B. Turn on an addon that can search (required)

Use TMDB or AIOMetadata, with their search catalogs turned on.

Don't use the TMDB Collections addon. It can't search.

---

C. Install addons that find streams

Install addons that find the actual streams, like Comet or MediaFusion.

Keep addons and catalogs to a minimum. Each one you add is one more thing that can break Gelato, and each makes the catalog import slower.

---

Finish step 1

You can also import one of the starter configs or presets that come with AIOStreams. Check the settings above afterwards, and turn your debrid provider and catalogs back on.

When you're happy with it, scroll to the bottom of the page and save. Copy the manifest.json URL it shows: you need it in step 3.

Recommended: test this basic setup in Gelato before you add more addons, filters, and settings.

---

Step 2: Install the Gelato plugin

Requirement: Jellyfin 12.1 or later.

1. In Jellyfin, go to Dashboard > Plugins > Repositories.

2. Add this repository:

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lostb1t/Gelato/refs/heads/gh-pages/repository.json
   

   

3. Refresh the page.

4. Install the Gelato plugin.

5. Restart Jellyfin to load the plugin.

---

Step 3: Run the setup assistant

Open Dashboard > Plugins > Gelato. On a new install, the setup assistant opens on its own. Later you find it under Setup assistant on the Addon tab. It's safe to run again: it starts from what you saved.

1. Connect: paste the manifest.json URL from step 1 and select Connect. Your Jellyfin server connects to the addon, so it has to reach that address. Streams, Movie search, and Series search should have a check mark.

   

   If it says "It answers but offers no streams", the URL is AIOStreams itself, not your saved config. Copy the manifest URL AIOStreams shows after you save.

2. Libraries: keep Create a new library for both (Movies, Shows), or pick a library you have, also one with your own media in it. Gelato adds a folder of its own to it and never touches your files.

   

   Recommended: give Gelato libraries of its own instead of your own media libraries.

3. Catalogs: pick the lists you want in your library, like Popular or Top rated. A few are enough to start; each one makes the import slower. Turn on Also create a collection for each catalog you pick to get a Jellyfin collection per catalog.

   

4. Choices: the defaults are fine. If a title's first stream is sometimes a dead link, turn on Try the next stream when one doesn't start, and Gelato plays the next one instead.

5. Select Finish setup with Import the catalogs now on. You don't need to restart: search works about 10 seconds later, and the catalogs' titles come in over the next few minutes.

3.1: Finish the libraries in Jellyfin

The assistant creates the libraries, but not their language or subtitle settings. Go to Dashboard > Libraries, select ⋮ > Manage library on each one, and set the preferred download language, the country, and the subtitle downloads the way you want them. Gelato should be first under Metadata downloaders and Image fetchers.

A library you had before: Gelato doesn't change its metadata settings. Turn on Gelato under the metadata downloaders and image fetchers, and move it to the top. Without that, titles still show up and play, but a metadata refresh takes their details from the library's other providers.

Why a folder at all? Gelato doesn't save media files to disk. Jellyfin lists only what's in a library with a folder, so Gelato's folder holds a single placeholder file. The titles live in Jellyfin's database.

Docker: you don't need a volume mapping. Gelato creates its folders inside the container. Set Gelato folder (on the Libraries tab) only to put them somewhere specific, as a full path (/data/gelato, not gelato).

---

Step 4: Test search and playback

On the Jellyfin home screen, search for anything. You should get results. Select one and check that streams show up.

Play it. If playback starts, Gelato is set up.

---

Troubleshooting

No search results, and warnings in the log

Check your Jellyfin log. If it shows these warnings:

[WRN] Gelato.Filters.SearchActionFilter: No movie folder found, please add your gelato path to a library and rescan. skipping search
[WRN] Gelato.Filters.SearchActionFilter: No series folder found, please add your gelato path to a library and rescan. skipping search

Open the Gelato settings on the Libraries tab. If a library list shows In no library: , no Jellyfin library has that folder. Pick one of your libraries there and save, or add the folder to a library in Dashboard > Libraries. Then wait for the library scan to finish.

No search results at all

Select Test on the Addon tab. If Movie search or Series search has no check mark, your AIOStreams config has nothing that can search. Go back to step 1 and turn on an addon that can search (TMDB or AIOMetadata), with its search catalogs on.

---

Step 5: Catalogs in depth (optional)

On the Catalogs tab of the Gelato settings, each catalog has its own Import, Collection, Max items (how many titles to import), and Library. The ? beside each column tells you more. To pick all your catalogs again in one go, run the setup assistant again.

Each catalog can import into a library of its own (an Anime, Documentaries, or Kids library) under Library. Default uses the movies and series libraries. For a new one, choose New library, type its name, and select Create folder. Then save, and add a library with that folder in Dashboard > Libraries (and finish it as in 3.1).

• If you change a catalog's library later, its titles move at the next import, with their watch state. Only Gelato's own titles move, never your files.
• A title that 2 catalogs list stays with the catalog that imported it first.
• A catalog fills a library only with titles of that library's kind. A catalog that lists both (type all or anime) needs a Mixed Movies and Shows library to keep both together.
• A title that isn't released yet is imported but stays hidden while Hide titles that aren't released yet (on the Search tab) is on. A seasonal anime catalog is mostly titles like that.

To import, select Import all below the table, the sync button in a catalog's row (that catalog alone), or run the Import Catalogs scheduled task, which can run on an interval. The buttons save the table first; the task imports what's saved.

---

More tips

#	Tip
1	Keep addons to a minimum. Fewer addons mean fewer things that can break, and a faster setup.
2	Fewer catalogs, faster imports. Each catalog you add makes the Import Catalogs task slower.
3	Pick your content. Instead of broad catalogs, build a list on Trakt or MDBList and add it as a custom addon in AIOStreams through StremThru.
4	Watch for other plugins. Some Jellyfin plugins get in Gelato's way.
5	After you change AIOStreams, save it there, then select Refresh on Gelato's Catalogs tab. Gelato reads the addon's manifest again; you don't need to restart.
6	Anime: give your anime catalogs an Anime library of their own (step 5). Add AIOMetadata as a custom addon for better search and metadata, with TVDB as the metadata source in its setup. If you use Kitsu, AniList, or AniDB, install their Jellyfin plugins and turn them on as metadata providers for your libraries.

Upgrading from an earlier Gelato

Your settings carry over; only their place changed. They're now on tabs: Addon, Libraries, Catalogs, Search (addon search, the search bar switch, unreleased titles), Playback, and Users.

If you mapped a host folder for Gelato (the old Docker setup), new library folders are created next to your movie folder, for example /media/gelato/…. If creating one fails with a permission error, set Gelato folder to a path Jellyfin can write to, for example /tmp/gelato.

Got stuck on step two, adding to plugin repositories. For those in the same spot... /web/#/dashboard/plugins/repositories

Bonjour

Playback Error
Playback failed due to a fatal player error.

y a t'il une solution ?

[DerHeimataerde]

You've mentioned AIOMetadata but it doesn't seem to be found in addons marketplace in AIOStreams?

[ashipaek0]

AIOmetadata is a similar service to AIOstreams.

You set up up via one of the publicly available free instances (or self host if you want)

Then wrap (use) use the resulting .json URL as a custom add-on in AIOStreams.

[DerHeimataerde]

I see, thank you. I've found the elfhosted aiometadata instance, though I'm unsure what settings/configurations I should use to integrate it with this. Should I remove TVDB?

[DerHeimataerde]

Also on the Catalog Management page in AIOMetadata, which should I enable/disable?

[ashipaek0]

Those are all choices that are up to you.

Like I said, it's a similar service to AIOstreams, just not directly supported by Gelato.

The same way you made your choices for AIOstreans, choose what you want in AIOm

Remember though that less is always more

If all you want is collections, set those up with the API keys and don't touch anything else

[DerHeimataerde]

Is there a way to integrate subtitles with Gelato somewhere in this pipeline?

[PastelSpoonie]

Struggling to get it working. I keep getting the following error:

[02:48:03] [INF] [37] Gelato.Filters.SearchActionFilter: Intercepted /Items search "harry potter" types=[Movie,Series] start=0 limit=800 results=0

[02:48:05] [WRN] [36] Gelato.Filters.SearchActionFilter: No movie folder found, please add your gelato path to a library and rescan. skipping search

[02:48:05] [WRN] [36] Gelato.Filters.SearchActionFilter: No series folder found, please add your gelato path to a library and rescan. skipping > search

What am I doing wrong??

[ashipaek0]

Please review step 3 and step 4 of the guide again and follow it

[Sloth186]

Did you figure out what the problem was? I may be experiencing the same issue, and am unsure where I am going wrong. I have the exact same filepaths from my Gelato settings as in my libraries, essentially as the setup in steps 3 and 4 show. I have rescanned the libraries multiple times and restarted the Jellyfin server multiple times, and I'm still getting this same message about the folder not being found. I would appreciate any pointers on what I may be missing.

[ashipaek0]

The problem in that instance, is not following the instructions.

That user decided to combine another folder to the gelato folder for the gelato jellyfin library.

If you have an existing library, create a separate library for gelato

[Sloth186]

I see. However, I may be misunderstanding your instructions then, as your response sounds contradictory to what you state in the instructions. In step 3, you say, "Alternatively, if you have existing Movies and Shows libraries, you can simply add the Gelato folders to those libraries." But it sounds like you are saying now that this is not supported?

[ashipaek0]

Maybe it is confusing. The instructions preceded the default temp folder option in Gelato

They were using the default temp gelato folder.
Adding a temp folder to an actual pre-existing folder means jellyfin still only sees the existing folder, which is not the library folder used by Gelato.

In that instance you need to create actual folders for Gelato, not the temp one.

Best user case is separate jellyfin librarians. You can merge the view in the UI later

[pavichokche]

I just wanted to say that this plugin is amazing and works quite well! Thank you for creating it and continuing to work on it!

I was wondering, what is the point of the custom library folders you need to create? They seem to always be empty with a stub inside. If no files are ever put inside them, can't the plugin just automatically create those folders inside its own directory and assign them to the default settings?

[ashipaek0]

Jellyfin Architecture does not by default support virtual libraries.

It needs an existing folder and paths for libraries

[pavichokche]

So I could just throw those folders wherever, they won't ever be filled up with data?

[ashipaek0]

Yea

Gelato does not store any data.

Only a 2kb stub file

[josephirizarry1231-dev]

I run Jellyfin from docker in OpenMediaVault through docker. All of it running off of a RasPi 5.

I got the AIOStream setup and connected with Real-Debrid and IMDB, and can find shows and movies, but when I select a show to play I just get no source. Any help figuring out why? Movies seem to work okay for the most part when I select them.

[jackpeck19955-a11y]

I followed the steps but probably went wrong somewhere. Some help would be appreciated. I tried doing this through my truenas server first but failed so I thought I would try through Windows so it has a clean GUI that I am more confident troubleshooting with. Still the same.

I have created the temp files and can see it created the Stub files within them but search doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have just been using the stremio app previously and the wife knows how to use jellyfin better. This would help get the wife's approval before I cut the cord.

[ashipaek0]

You are supposed to create actual folders in a path accessible to jellyfin

Certainly not in C:/

create library folders in Videos folder

Use the same paths in Gelato

You also don't create the stub. The plugin does that automatically

[maisolo22]

Make sure that you had enebled Search - movies and Search - series on catalog config

I just wanted to thank you for creating this amazing plugin!

It took me about a week to figure it all out since I am somewhat new to self-hosting, Jellyfin and debrid services but I finally got it up and running after figuring out how to configure elfhosted aiostreams and it is up and running smoothly so far. Please continue with the development of this! This is awesome!

Anyway just wanted to drop in and show my appreciation. Keep up the great work!

[n00bcodr]

For example, the Jellyfin Enhanced plugin will add all search results directly to your library — avoid installing it alongside Gelato.

This has since been fixed?

I have added a setting to disable tags on the search page,

To avoid this compatibility issue, and just testing this, works fine for me?

[ashipaek0]

Will confirm and correct. Thanks

[Travattack]

i followed the guide.
I can search on a movie. then it starts loading and when it should play i get ACCESS DENIED. API key invalid or expired.
what API key is mentioned here.
I resaved the ones from TMDB and TVDB

[ashipaek0]

Verify your debrid provider or Usenet key in AIOstreams is correct

[leaskovski]

Hey all... I've been following the guide to get my self hosted instance of AIOStreams that I already have running with stremio, up and running with this. The plugin is all added and the libraries have been setup as well. I made sure I setup AIOStreams as per the guide. My search doesn't return anything from AIOStreams, only my local media.

If I look at the logs, I can see a json parsing error when it is trying to fetch json from my aiostreams instance, e.g....

[2026-06-09 22:23:16.694 +01:00] [ERR] GetJsonAsync: error fetching or parsing "https://myinstance/stremio/8d343edf-dad0-4a25-8feb-659888d1251b/eyJpIjoidC82alFEUGZRcjFQeEVOK2pmWWJUdz09IiwiZSI6IjVYZ3dQVnc4SDQ1Vi9FUkJtYzVHQ2N1ZWcxWWxXZXRXVDlVQjNuSURRNU09IiwidCI6ImEifQ/meta/movie/tt1083845.json"

This is pretty early on in the logs on startup, and if I hit that URL, the aiostreams instance gives me a 404. What is it doing?

[ashipaek0]

Change the permissions of the gelato library folders to 775

Then restart jellyfin

[leaskovski]

Nope, that didn't seem to make any difference. Here is my jellyfin log for the startup and me searching for titanic.
jellyfin20260610.log

I have a feeling it is something to do with my AIOStreams instance that I am self hosting.

Edit:
So I enabled debug logging on jelly fin and ran the test again. Here is the relevant part of the log, as my assumption is that Jellyfin is trying to use gelato as a provider which is failing, hence those error messages, which makes me wonder if my instance of aiostreams is set right for the search catalogues....

I edited my AIOStreams instance to disable searching on these two catalogues and that fix my issue! It might be that it picks the first catalogues that have searching enabled against them in the json, so maybe this needs to be configurable or a requirement to have the search catalogues ordered to the top of you catalogue list in AIOStreams.

@ashipaek0 how do you clear out the catalogue that is displayed in Jellyfin after you have run an import? I noticed that there was a load of adult films listed, and I wanted to sanitise it for the kids, so have edited my AIOStreams to remove out adult content from the catalogue, and now I want to clean the library listed in Jellyfin and do a fresh import.

[jpwebdude]

Basically just reconfigure your aiostreams to filter out the adult content. Then go to scheduled task way down at the bottom of the side menu. Then purge All gelato streams, then purge all gelato items. Go do a quick library scan after you have purged everything. Then go back to scheduled tasks do a quick database optimization for good measure. Once that is done go into gelato settings paste your updated manifest.json link. Refresh your library in the other tab.. check mark the catalogs you wanna import. Click save . Then click import button right next to it and let it do its magic.

This is the flow that has always worked well for me anyway.

[leaskovski]

@jpwebdude that was what I was looking for! Thanks for that.

[Cartman010]

I just wanted to say thanks for this insanely good Add-On. It works flawless on my system.

[jp500c]

Your welcome. It's a learning experience but once you get a hang of things the plugin will basically begin running and maintaining itself

For me it doesn't work.

I'm trying the plugin with Debrider but I only got a black screen. Any ideas?

[jp500c]

Yeah use aiostreams as the install guide specifies. You will probably have better luck.
