Streama
Streama is a self-hosted media server and library manager designed for organizing and streaming personal collections of movies and television shows. It functions as a dockerized streaming application that provides a web-based media player for accessing video assets.
The system distinguishes itself by supporting synchronized video playback, which coordinates the playback state and timeline across multiple clients in real time. It also enables remote media integration, allowing users to build a streaming collection that combines locally stored files with content hosted at external URLs.
The project covers digital asset administration through role-based access control and automated library management. This includes bulk media importing, regex-based file parsing, and automated metadata retrieval from external databases. The playback experience is rounded out with on-the-fly subtitle conversion and progress tracking.
The application is packaged into Docker images to facilitate containerized deployment.
