What it does

Everything a streaming service does — on hardware you control.

Point Nestream at your folders and it does the rest: artwork, seasons, resume points and smooth playback to every device.

Stream anywhere

At home over your network, or securely from anywhere. Apps for TV, mobile and the browser stay in sync.

Organized automatically

Metadata, posters and descriptions fetched for you. Movies, series and music in clean collections.

Hardware transcoding

Transcodes on the fly using your GPU, so anything plays on any device and any connection.

Upload from the browser

Drag and drop media onto your server from the web — no file managers, no SSH.

The interface

A library made for your living room.

Posters, continue-watching and instant search — the same on the TV, the phone and the browser.

How it works

Up and running in three steps.

Install on your server

Sign in and stream

Open the app on any device, sign in, and your whole library is there.

Every film and show you own, on one wall.

Artwork fetched and matched automatically — your library looks like any streaming service, except it’s yours.
