Self-hosted streaming platform originally built for local use, with a catalog of nearly 7,000 titles enriched with external metadata (synopsis, direction, cast). The backend handles content-availability verification, adaptive HLS streaming with audio/subtitle selection, and a "continue watching" feature.

There's a documented product exploration for a public version based on browser-based P2P streaming (with no video stored on the server), including risk analysis, monetization, and effort estimation — decision made, development on hold.
