Kyoo is a self-hosted media server focused on video content (Movies, Series & Anime). It is an alternative to Jellyfin or Plex.

It aims to have a low amount of maintenance needed (no folder structure required nor manual metadata edits). Media not being scanned correctly (even with weird names) is considered a bug.

Kyoo does not have a plugin system and aim to have every features built-in (see #Features for the list).

Kyoo in Action

🌐 Getting Started

🚀 Features

📺 Clients

Clients is a bit part of media servers but for now, Kyoo's focus is on features. Only a web version and an android apps are available for now. The front is written with react-native (expo) so adapting for others platform is possible. Here is a rough roadmap of clients supports:

Apple devices are not planned for now because I do not own any of their device, and it requires $100/year.

If you would like to have a client sooner or on devices not listed on the roadmap, come hang on the discord and consider contributing to Kyoo.

📜 Why another media-browser?

From a technical standpoint, both Jellyfin and Plex lean on SQLite and confine everything within a single container, Kyoo takes a different route. We're not afraid to bring in additional containers when it makes sense – whether for specialized features like Meilisearch powering our search system or for scalability, as seen with our transcoder.

Kyoo embraces the "setup once, forget about it" philosophy. Unlike Plex and Jellyfin, we don't burden you with manual file renaming or specific folder structures. Kyoo seamlessly works with files straight from your download directory, minimizing the maintenance headache for server admins.

Kyoo narrows its focus to movies, TV shows, and anime streaming. No music, ebooks, or games – just pure cinematic delight.
