Seanime
This project is a self-hosted media server for organizing, streaming, and tracking anime and manga collections. It functions as a BitTorrent streaming client that allows video content to be played directly from torrents and cloud storage, a manga reader and tracker, and a media processing system using hardware-accelerated transcoding to ensure browser compatibility.
The system distinguishes itself through synchronized media viewing, enabling users to host watch parties by coordinating playback in real time across multiple devices. It also features an extensible framework with a JavaScript-based plugin system and an in-app marketplace for installing third-party streaming sources and search engines.
The platform provides comprehensive library management, including automatic metadata matching for local files and a release calendar to monitor new episodes. It supports automated media acquisition via customizable filters and priority scoring, alongside remote server connections for streaming content to mobile devices.
