Playhouse Server

Playhouse Server will let you host a library on your own hardware and stream it to every Playhouse client, in the same shape as Plex, Jellyfin or Emby.

Planned scope

• Library indexing — scan directories, fetch metadata, build a catalogue
• Transcoding — hardware-accelerated where available, direct play where possible
• Users and profiles — multiple households, per-user watch state
• Remote access — reach your server from outside your network

Planned shape

Distributed as a Docker image and as native builds for common NAS platforms. No account required to run it; a Playhouse account only ties clients together.
