Pley: your movies, shows and music, and live TV, streamed to the web, phones, TVs, Kodi and Roku. It plays files as they are when a device can, and transcodes on the GPU when it can't (Intel Quick Sync, AMD, NVIDIA NVENC), HDR tone mapping included.

Once it has started, open the WebUI and create the administrator account with the setup code from Pley's log (the Pley icon, Logs).

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.
