## About

AURORA is a self-hosted personal media library that runs on Synology DSM 7, with native Android TV and macOS players. No cloud service, subscription or external account is required to use the library.

The server indexes films and series from folders, with incremental indexing, optional TMDB metadata and cached posters. It supports profiles, parental controls, progress and resume across devices, collections, favourites and a watch-later list. Playback prefers Direct Play, then remux, then H.264/HLS conversion when needed, with audio tracks, subtitles, chapters and next episode.

A device can be linked with a code shown on the server's /link page. Sign-in uses an AURORA account, not the Synology DSM account. The project is a personal work in progress, and the AURORA code has no public open source licence yet: all rights reserved.
