Self-hosted media streaming, built on a modern stack.
Silo is an open-source media server with a Go backend and a React web UI. It handles direct play, remuxing, and hardware-accelerated transcoding, and offers a Jellyfin/Emby-compatible API for clients such as Findroid and Infuse, alongside first-party native apps for Apple and Android. Client coverage varies.
