Plezy

Plex is a media server and streaming platform developed by Plex, Inc. Its Plex Media Server indexes and serves users' personal media (video, audio, photos) to native client apps and the web, and Plex also provides an ad-supported on-demand catalog plus live TV and DVR features. The server is distributed for Windows, macOS, Linux, many NAS devices and Docker, client apps run on web, iOS, Android, smart TVs, streaming boxes and consoles, and the service is offered freemium with an optional Plex Pass subscription for features such as mobile sync, hardware-accelerated transcoding, and premium music features.

JellyBox is a native cross-platform music player for Jellyfin, Emby, and Navidrome servers, developed by ProdigyTech Inc. It connects to music libraries through the servers' APIs, supports browsing and searching albums, artists, genres, playlists, and songs, and provides playback with queue management, transcoding profiles, time-synced lyrics, ListenBrainz scrobbling, and playback-position memory. Albums and tracks can be downloaded for offline listening, with a full offline mode and progressive caching. The interface includes album-art-derived colour schemes, platform-specific layouts, Studio Mode, media-key and system playback controls, AirPlay, DLNA/UPnP casting, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. It is distributed for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS/iPadOS, and Android; it is a client rather than a server and requires access to a supported music server. The source code is licensed under GNU AGPL-3.0.

Jellyfin is a free software media system for managing and streaming a user's own media from a dedicated, self-hosted server to end-user devices through multiple apps. It is an alternative to proprietary media servers such as Emby and Plex. This repository contains Jellyfin's backend server and API; the server hosts the web client, uses FFmpeg for media processing, and is built on the .NET platform for cross-platform support. Jellyfin is distributed without premium licenses or features.

Halcyon Video is a self-hosted 3D media-library interface that connects to Jellyfin or Plex and procedurally presents a collection as a walkable video-rental store. Built with Vite, TypeScript, and three.js, with an optional Tauri wrapper, it turns libraries into aisles, genres into signposted sections, duplicate quality versions into stacks behind a face copy, and low-rated titles into a Bargain Bin. Users can browse shelves, inspect front and back cover artwork, take cases to a checkout counter, and play titles through its player or MPV in a simulated living room and VCR; WebXR walk mode and a CSS-based 2.5D mode are also available. Era, lighting, floor plan, and VHS-or-DVD presentation are independent settings. Branding can change the store name, colors, emblem, typeface, signs, cases, endcaps, aisle markers, shelving, checkout area, and clerk uniform; a logo.svg or transparent PNG in the user-assets folder can provide the emblem and derive house colors. The project supports Docker, browser use, dedicated-HTPC operation, remote browser playback with a TURN relay, and RomM game libraries. Its browser demo includes a synthetic catalog of roughly 2,000 titles and can use several gigabytes of memory and substantial GPU resources, while shelving personal files requires Jellyfin or Plex rather than a built-in folder scanner.

Prismedia is a private, self-hosted media library for managing and using movies, series, music, books, audiobooks, comics, images, and galleries across a web app and native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. It uses a shared media entity containing an item's identity, metadata, artwork, files, relationships, and personal progress, while providing medium-specific playback, reading, and listening experiences. The server scans watched folders, identifies items through metadata-provider plugins, organizes files and relationships, and supports browser and native playback with resume support, subtitles, and client-dependent direct playback or conversion. It includes EPUB, PDF, and comic readers, audiobook playback, music queues, media requests through optional indexers and download clients, household accounts, background jobs, and database backups. It runs as a Docker container containing the database, web app, API, worker, and media tools; users supply their own media files.
