Providers

How Cliparr connects to Plex and Jellyfin sources.

Cliparr uses provider sources to discover active playback sessions, load playable streams, and attach useful metadata to exported clips.

Plex

Connect your Plex account, choose a server, and clip from active playback sessions.

Use a Plex account that owns the server you want to connect. Cliparr uses that account to find servers and active playback sessions.

Jellyfin

Connect your Jellyfin server with an administrator account and clip from active sessions across your library.

Use a Jellyfin administrator account. Cliparr needs administrator access to read active sessions across the server.

Provider-backed clips can include media-server metadata in the exported file, such as title, show, season, episode, artwork, rating, and timing details when the source provides them.

Multiple sources

You can add more than one source, then disable or reconnect sources from source management. Cliparr shows available sessions from enabled sources and surfaces source-specific errors without blocking the rest of the dashboard.
