summary: A brief summary on what YAMS is and its features
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
YAMS is a is a **highly opinionated** media server.
|
|
|
|
With YAMS you'll be able to automate your media gathering, organization and consumption.
|
|
|
|
## First, why?
|
|
|
|
I wanted a setup that my non technical girlfiend 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 acomplished my goal: My girlfiend uses it very regularly and I've even expanded it to my Mother, who lives 5000kms 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 homeservers.
|
|
|
|
## 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 clasification 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:** Since we are leveraging from Emby, you should be able to watch your favorite media almost anywhere.
|

With this combination, you can create a fully functional media server that is going to download, categorize, subtitle and serve your favorite shows and movies.
|
|
|
|
## Why did you choose <this_software> instead of <that_software>?
|
|
|
|
Because. That's why it's _**opinionated**_, you don't _necessarily_ have to agree with me. This setup is aimed at noobs and first time media server enthusiasts. You can always use my sources and create a better project 🔥
