summary: A brief summary on what YAMS is and its features
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
YAMS is a **highly opinionated** media server.
|
|
|
|
With YAMS you'll be able to automate your media gathering, organization, and consumption.
|
|
|
|
## First, why?
|
|
|
|
In 2019 I wanted a setup that my non-technical girlfriend could use without any problems, so I started designing my media server using multiple open source projects and running them on top of docker.
|
|
|
|
Fast forward two years and I would like to say it works very well 😎 And most importantly, I accomplished my goal: My girlfriend uses it regularly and I've even added my mom, who lives 5000 kms from me.
|
|
|
|
My friends wanted to have a media server like mine, but it was always hard to explain everything that was involved in building and connecting all the pieces together.
|
|
|
|
So basically, my friends pushed me to build this script and documentation, so they (and now anyone!) could build it on their own home servers.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
In no particular order:
|
|
|
|
- **Automatic shows/movies download:** Just add your shows and movies to the watch list and it should automatically download the files as soon as they are available.
|
|
- **Automatic classification and organization:** Your media files should be completely organized by default.
|
|
- **Automatic subtitles download:** Self-explanatory. Your media server should automatically download subtitles in the languages you choose if they are available.
|
|
- **Support for Web, Android, iOS, Android TV, and whatever that can support Emby/Jellyfin/Plex:** Since we are using Emby/Jellyfin/Plex, you should be able to watch your favorite media almost anywhere.
|
|
