Features

A complete media experience, out of the box

No add-ons for the basics. Here's the full tour, pillar by pillar.

Library & metadata

Point it at your folders and it does the rest.

  • Automatic identification of movies and TV, with posters, backdrops, cast, and descriptions.
  • One-click fix match and field-level editing when it guesses wrong — your edits stick through every refresh.
  • Mixed collections: build ordered lists of movies, whole shows, and single episodes side by side.
  • Custom posters and artwork upload, editions, and per-episode metadata.

Playback that just works

The right format reaches every screen without you thinking about codecs.

  • Hardware-accelerated transcoding (NVENC and friends), with a direct-play fast path when the client can handle the file.
  • HDR tone mapping for SDR screens, and clean subtitle handling — embedded and sidecar, converted on the fly.
  • Playback speed from 0.5× to 2× on any stream, thumbnail trick-play previews as you scrub, and precise seeking.
  • Skip intro, credits, and recap markers, with an Up Next card that rolls you into the next episode.

Live TV & DVR

Bring your own channels — we never inject content you didn’t add.

  • Bring-your-own IPTV (M3U / Xtream) or an HDHomeRun tuner; a full channels-by-time guide grid on TV and web.
  • Pause, rewind, and fast-forward live TV with a rolling timeshift buffer.
  • Schedule recordings from the guide with padding and series rules; recordings land in your library as normal items.
  • Optional Schedules Direct guide data with program artwork.

Households & sharing

Everyone gets their own space — no password sharing.

  • Per-person profiles with separate watch history, Keep Watching, and favorites.
  • Adults sign in from their own phone with a pairing code; kids and guests get profiles without an email.
  • Share your server with friends and family — you cover their remote streaming, they never pay.
  • Parental controls and PIN-locked profiles are on the roadmap.

Insights & automation

Know what’s happening, and wire it into anything.

  • A live "now playing" view, watch history, and top titles and watch-time aggregates.
  • Webhooks for playback start/finish, new items, and completed scans — send them to Discord, home automation, or your own scripts.
  • A documented, token-authenticated API — the same one our apps use.

Remote access

Watch from anywhere, with zero networking knowledge.

  • Secure remote access with no port forwarding and no setup — it just connects.
  • Direct peer-to-peer when possible, with an encrypted relay fallback when your network won’t cooperate.
  • This is the piece the subscription funds. Everything on your home network stays free.
