What's wrong with the name? Differences from Plex: - Watching your own films away from home isn't paywalled, and never will be. - Hardware encoding is free, and always will be. - No cloud account required unless you want my convenient discovery service. - If you don't want to use a cloud account at all, you can set up your own discovery server on your own VPS for watching away from home even through routers and shit (also free). - No ads, no storefront, no telemetry. - Watch Together with voice. Multiple people can watch a synced video, and talk to each other (I've tested this with me in Germany and the other person in Australia, and it worked beautifully). - Hardened against corrupt video files and issues like NFS failures (getting stuck forever in a syscall). Everything vulnerable is separated and isolated. - Open source. The server is AGPL and the web clients are MPL. - Your files are left alone. Media is read-only by default. The server reads the .nfo metadata files you already have, from Kodi for example. What's not there yet: - Native apps. I'm only doing a web client for the time being until all the features are in place. It's pretty fast, though. - Music. This comes later. | |||||||||||||||||
