Xplex is a personal, self-hosted, open-source multi-streaming server for streamers and homelab users. It acts as a real-time messaging protocol (RTMP) server that takes one outgoing stream from your streaming software and sends it to multiple platforms, such as Twitch, YouTube, or a custom endpoint. Use it to broadcast simultaneously while keeping control of your setup and data.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
