theia-media
Private film-and-series server with zero configuration, no account, no telemetry: a small Go server indexes your folders, a native player draws real picture and sound through libmpv, and a one-file installer sets it up.

Qué es theia-media
Descripción editorial construida a partir del repositorio, su documentación y sus señales de mantenimiento.
Theia is a private media library that turns folders of films and series into a personal cinema experience. It requires zero configuration — you simply download the installer, add your folder paths, and start watching. There is no Theia account, subscription model, Docker stack, external database or separate web app to install. The server indexes your local files, groups alternate versions under one title, keeps files where they already live, and provides a library that stays current by scanning several folders automatically.
The player component draws real picture and sound through libmpv without requiring any GPU drivers or graphical dependencies. It supports audio formats like Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, and Atmos, as well as subtitle text tracks and quality selection. Metadata such as titles, posters, backdrops, cast, crew, runtime, certification, seasons and episodes is cached locally from TMDB.
Theia deliberately has no live TV, DVR, music library, plugins or multi-user permissions. It is designed for a single user on one machine with a fixed set of media folders. If you need remote access, Theia uses device-keyed WireGuard encryption to expose viewer capabilities only — there is no relay server or control plane.
Updates are verified by SHA-256 digests before the player bundle is replaced atomically, and previous versions remain available for rollback if playback fails.

Despliegue detectado
Qué señales reales de instalación hemos encontrado.
Install the Windows x64 executable from the release page. The installer prompts for language, purpose, data location, port (8383), server name and folder paths before writing anything. Start the server via `theia-server` or let the installer autostart it; no administrator rights are needed. For offline use, download the zip bundle containing all files and run `theia-setup.exe` from within that folder — it copies programs beside itself without network access. The player binary is updated atomically by checking SHA-256 digests against GitHub releases before replacing any existing executable.
