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.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
