What Phlix does
Everything your media needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Eight core systems, each designed to do one thing well.
01 — Library
Library that organizes itself
Folder-watcher hashes mtimes, scanner parses S01E02 / (2020) titles, ItemRepository hydrates metadata_json. Add a file, see it appear.
02 — SyncPlay
SyncPlay across the room or across the country
Weighted-mean NTP offset over 5 samples keeps every device locked to the same frame. Play, pause, seek — everyone moves together.
03 — Transcoding
Transcoding that picks the right quality
QualitySelector profiles for mobile-low, mobile-high, web, and tv-4k. CRF 23/28 libx264/libx265 with HLS master and variant playlists.
04 — Auth
Multi-user, multi-profile, parental controls
JWT auth with refresh tokens, Argon2ID password hashing, up to 5 profiles per user, 4- or 6-digit PINs, rating filter from G to NC-17.
05 — Live TV
Live TV with DVR + EPG
ChannelManager, GuideManager, and Recorder give you scheduled recordings and a guide that doesn't make you click through menus.
06 — DLNA
DLNA for the devices you already own
ContentDirectory, AvTransport, and a DeviceRegistry mean your old smart TV doesn't need a new app.
07 — Plugins
Plugin system with a real contract
LifecycleInterface + manifest schema. Drop a plugin in, the loader picks it up. See phlix-plugin-example.
08 — Hub
Phlix Hub — reach any of your servers from anywhere
Sign in once. Reverse-tunnel relay handles NAT. Self-hostable, or use the public hub.
