It's a local media library manager in the same vein as media servers that came before it that were intended to run on desktops and serve up content to consoles and whatever on your LAN back when that was the thing to do.

My point is to treat it like software from that lineage and you won't have a problem, trying to treat it like something it's not, like a distributed web app, will lead to issues.
