About MSP

Your Personal LAN Cinema

MSP (Media Share & Preview) is a lightweight media server for home LAN usage. It focuses on fast local playback, simple setup, and predictable behavior.

Principles

• Zero setup: SQLite is embedded, no external services required.
• Performance first: Go backend + Vite frontend with hardware-accelerated transcoding.
• Compatibility: browser direct-play first, transcode fallback when needed.
• Local-first privacy: no cloud account or telemetry dependency.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Go (Gin, GORM)
• Frontend: Vanilla JS + Vite (ES Modules)
• Player: Plyr.io
• Transcoding: FFmpeg (Hardware-accelerated: NVENC, QSV, AMF, VA-API, VideoToolbox)
• Database: SQLite (glebzarez/sqlite, pure Go, CGO-free)
