Hey, I just published a self-hosted streaming service, it’s called Odin. Odin comes in two parts, a server and an Android app. Both can be found on GitHub, with their install instructions.

Odin Server https://github.com/ad-on-is/odin-server

Odin TV App https://github.com/ad-on-is/odin-tv

Motivation:

I’ve used many of the readily available apps in the past, and they all came with their pros and cons. I was mostly annoyed by the fact, that most of them use their own server-backend, somewhere. So each time, the app stops working, I didn’t know whether their server just crashed, or the developer abandoned the app and I had to look for something else. I also started becoming paranoid, whether someone was collecting my data and offering them to “the highest bidder”. Oh, and I also disliked the UI of these apps.

That’s why I started working on Odin. In fact, I’ve been using it for almost 4 years now, and did a LOT of iterations during these years. Now, I’m more than happy with the end result, and wanted to share it with the world.

The main features of Odin are:

  • Discovering movies and TV shows
  • A nice and beautiful UI
  • Customizable Trakt lists
  • Multi-User support

I hope you like it!

Oh, and feel free to submit any feature requests or issues on GitHub. If you want, you can star the repo, so I know there’s actual interest in the project.

    I think to most people asking how this works, the answer is, you connect it to AllDebrid/RealDebrid paid accounts, and that’s the contents you stream. Hence it’s a streamer system for a paid service. I think this is the most important clarification needed here.

      So it’s like Seren, but for Android instead of Kodi, and with a mandatory server part?

    Been thinking about swapping away from Plex when I move to New hardware later this month

    If I’m reading all this right sounds like Overseerr and Plex both can be replaced with this, as well as a unified app for the two?

    If so I’m def getting this installed and testing it out this weekend, my goal for a while has been to get the rest of my family into my streaming ecosystem but having to use 2 whole apps (Plex and Overseerr on a website) is enough to scare them away despite using 6 apps currently

      I don’t use the arr-suite myself, but I think you’re on point. Since It doesn’t download anything, and gets the streams directly from RD or AD, there’s no need for overseer.

      You .ight be careful though, because RD doesn’t allow using their service from multiple locations at the same time (whatever thsat means)

    Interesting. Will have to take a look at it later. I currently use Jellyfin and don’t have many issues. The only thing that might be a pain point is tuner support. I didn’t see anything mentioned. But looks nice otherwise. And intrigued to see its largely in Go.

      Jellyfin uses the *arr suite, but Odin relies on a debrid service. The benefit is that nothing is hoarded on the device itself.

    Is there any way this could be modified for indie musicians to move away from bigTech? FOSS Spotify alternative with bitcoin ?
