## Description

Kryspal Media is a self-hosted media server for your movies and TV shows that stays fast on very large libraries. It plays your files in original quality (4K, HDR and lossless audio are never transcoded), works with third-party Emby and Jellyfin players such as Infuse, SenPlayer and VidHub, and has a built-in web player, separate watch history for every member and open-source plugins for metadata and subtitles. Move from Emby or Jellyfin: libraries, members and watch history come along. No account is needed; the FREE plan is a complete media server. INSTALL ORDER: first install the Kryspal Media Database template (kryspal-media-postgres), then this server. Updating either container needs no extra steps. After the first start, open the Web UI and create the administrator in the setup wizard. This is a beta release: back up the database before upgrading.

## Platform availability

Available on 1 of 9 platforms: Unraid.
