Takeout
Takeout is a copyleft media service that indexes organized media files in S3
buckets using MusicBrainz, Last.fm, Fanart.tv, and The Movie Database to make
media available for streaming using a mobile app,
TV app, web interface and VLC. Media is browsed using the Takeout server and
streamed directly from S3 using pre-signed time-based URLs.
Takeout is primarily a music player that also supports radio, movies and
podcasts. It's not intended to be a full replacement for more feature-rich
systems like Plex, Jellyfin and
Kodi. Instead, Takeout takes inspiration from these systems
and attempts to be a small yet capable system designed around media being
stored in the cloud. You can take your personal media collection with you, on
your own terms, create your own personal streaming service, and enjoy your
media with free and open source software.
