CLUSTER MEDIA-MUSIC-SERVER · 46 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-01-13

Self-hosted media servers

This cluster consists of self-hosted media server software and clients that let users organize, stream, and share personal video, music, and photo collections across devices, often including live TV support. Dated entries before the index start are sparse, with a few in 2016 and 2021, and several in 2026, showing an intermittent rather than steady pattern. Jellynext leads traction with 1 activity star, ahead of Jellyfin and emby-server-beta.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
