Mydia

Mydia is a modern, self-hosted media management platform built with Elixir and Phoenix LiveView. It provides a real-time web UI to track, organize, and automate downloads for movies and TV shows, including metadata enrichment and library management.

Key Features

• Unified media library for movies and TV shows with TMDB and TVDB metadata enrichment.
• Automated download workflows with quality profiles, smart release scoring and ranking.
• Native integrations with common download clients (qBittorrent, Transmission, SABnzbd, NZBGet).
• Indexer support via Prowlarr and Jackett, plus experimental built-in Cardigann indexer library.
• Multi-user roles (admin/guest) and request-approval workflow for content requests.
• SSO support via OIDC/OpenID Connect alongside local authentication.
• Real-time interface powered by Phoenix LiveView for instant updates and responsive UI.
• Storage and import conveniences: relative library paths, hardlink support for efficient storage, and import/sync from TMDB lists.
• Multi-architecture Docker images and variants for SQLite (default) and PostgreSQL.
• Background job processing with Oban, migrations with automatic pre-migration backups, and CI-driven test coverage including end-to-end tests.

Use Cases

• Replace or complement desktop/cloud tools by managing a home movie and TV library with metadata and automated downloads.
• Run automated release searching and downloading for preferred quality profiles and codecs for a household media server.
• Provide multi-user access with role-based controls and SSO for families or small groups who share a media collection.

Limitations and Considerations

• Project is early-stage (0.x.x): expect breaking changes between releases and potential instability in experimental features.
• Several capabilities are marked experimental (built-in Cardigann indexers, playback/HLS streaming, subtitles) and may be incomplete or unreliable.
• PostgreSQL support requires using the PostgreSQL-specific image variant; image variants are not interchangeable at runtime.

Mydia focuses on library management and download automation rather than full-featured streaming server functionality. It is oriented toward users who want an extensible, real-time web UI for maintaining and automating a local movies/TV collection.
