Your own media server for films, shows and music.
New to this? What open source means and how to read this page.
What it is
A media system you host yourself that streams your own library to TVs, phones and browsers, with no account needed.
Good for
People who want to stream their own media without a subscription.
The catch
You run the server, and TV apps are less polished than the commercial ones. It manages your own files, it does not provide content.
