ARRFLIX is my personal streaming service. One library, hand-curated, no
filler — every show and film is the best version I could put together. Where
the source allows, masters are 4K. Where it doesn't, they're AI-upscaled until
they look better than the disc ever did. The reference example: my **Rick and
Morty Season 1** is a 4K HDR upscale that beats the original broadcast. That's
the standard for everything that lands here.
It's not a clone of a public streamer. It's the version I wished existed: the
quality bar of a boutique release group, the polish of a flagship app, and a
library I actually want to watch.
## What you get
- **Best-quality everything.** 4K where the source supports it, AI-upscaled
masters where it doesn't. No 480p filler, no junk encodes.
- **Curated, not crawled.** Every title is hand-imported, hand-cleaned, and
hand-checked before it goes live. Junk files, sample clips, and stray
artwork never make it in.
- **Polished metadata.** Posters, backdrops, episode stills, cast, and
descriptions are all locked to the canonical source — no wrong-show
matches, no broken artwork, no foreign-language drift.
- **English-first UI, every account.** No surprise German Play buttons, no
browser-locale roulette. Every user is pinned to a consistent experience.
- **Custom theming.** ARRFLIX wordmark, ARRFLIX-red accent (`#E50914`),
loading splash, and a Netflix-grade dark UI. Jellyfin's stock chrome is
hidden — the brand is the surface.
- **Per-user home layouts.** Resume, Next Up, and Latest Media tuned the way
I actually use the app. No "My Media" tile clutter.
- **Subtitles done right.** Sidecar files named to spec, OpenSubtitles
integration, ffmpeg-extracted tracks where embedded.
## Live at
-
Endpoint is **LAN / tailnet only**. There is no public exposure — if
you're not on the network, you're not getting in. By design.

## How it works (technical)
ARRFLIX runs on self-hosted infrastructure on **nullstone**. The repo you're
looking at is also the deploy source-of-truth: the compose file, library
structure, theming overrides, and operational playbooks all live here. The
streaming engine itself is unbranded plumbing — invisible behind the
ARRFLIX surface.
Operators / future-me, the technical reference is split across:
- [`ADMIN-GUIDE.md`](ADMIN-GUIDE.md) — single-page day-to-day ops: adding users,
importing media, fixing scrapes, theme breakage, emergency rollback.
- [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) — what's done, what's open, what's deferred.
- [`docs/`](docs/) — research-grade reference docs (artwork, metadata,
subtitles, theming, file-structure rules, per-library themes, cleanup,
filename normalization, force-English, branding leaks, splash, audits).
Repo lives at (mirror:
