Odin - a self-hosted FOSS streaming service. (lemm.ee)

Hey, I just published a self-hosted streaming service, it's called Odin. Odin comes in two parts, a server and an Android app. Both can be found on GitHub, with their install instructions.

Odin Server https://github.com/ad-on-is/odin-server

Odin TV App https://github.com/ad-on-is/odin-tv

Motivation:

I've used many of the readily available apps in the past, and they all came with their pros and cons. I was mostly annoyed by the fact, that most of them use their own server-backend, somewhere. So each time, the app stops working, I didn't know whether their server just crashed, or the developer abandoned the app and I had to look for something else. I also started becoming paranoid, whether someone was collecting my data and offering them to "the highest bidder". Oh, and I also disliked the UI of these apps.

That's why I started working on Odin. In fact, I've been using it for almost 4 years now, and did a LOT of iterations during these years. Now, I'm more than happy with the end result, and wanted to share it with the world.

The main features of Odin are:

Discovering movies and TV shows
A nice and beautiful UI
Customizable Trakt lists
Multi-User support

I hope you like it!

Oh, and feel free to submit any feature requests or issues on GitHub. If you want, you can star the repo, so I know there's actual interest in the project.

You keep saying "hoarding" but I think you mean collecting/protecting in many cases.

Yeah, if the ones and zeros arent in your drive, it can disappear at any point from the internet.

I frequently want to watch things that aren't the latest blockbuster with hundreds of seeders.

If there's only one person seeding and they aren't on 24/7 this whole flow falls apart.

Thank goodness bladders don't require others for the flow of our own individual streams!

Some people just don't want to store anything on their devices for whatever reason.

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

And that's fine. Totally fine. I wouldn't use judgemental words or words with a negative connotation to describe their lack of storage because I feel that's an absolutely fine stance to have.
