This looks interesting - would you use a virtual video store to browse your self hosted media?

Yet another shop keep simulator clone?

Thats pretty cool.

No, it's for browsing your self-hosted video library.

If it was free, I could imagine downloading it once to try it out. But I doubt I would ever run it again after trying it once. It doesn't seem like a more interesting or efficient means of selecting content to watch or anything like that. I would also be wary about giving a closed-source program access to my media library.

But if it costed any fee, even just a one-time purchase of 1€, I wouldn't be interested at all.

Sounds cool, but I don’t think I can trust someone I’ve never met with all the media I have.

If you are looking for s similar item but dont want to pay there is this

I have a instance of it running with jellyfin and it fun. I find i like it when I dont know what to watch and want to browse for a bit. By no means is it quicker but its fun.

Came here to recommend that too

It’d be awesome to have a link to something like Jellyfin or Plex in one of these.

This one seems to have VR which is what I’m after most from my self hosted stream.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing

It does connect to Plex and Jellyfin. Someone else also posted a similar open source project in the comments.

Oh nice, thanks for confirming. I didn’t read the full description but see it now.
