MSP is a single-binary media server focused on practical home use.
Run it on your PC, share local folders, and play media from any modern browser in your LAN.

• Zero setup: no external database or complex deployment.
• Smart playback: direct play first, transcode only when needed.
• Resume playback: continue from last position across devices.
• Cross-platform server: Windows, Linux, macOS.
• Browser client: desktop and mobile modern browsers.
• Local-first: no cloud account, no tracking.

• Direct play is preferred by default.
• Preemptive transcode is applied only for higher-risk cases, such as:
  • Containers: AVI, WMV
  • Codecs: HEVC/H.265, VC-1, AC-3, DTS, TrueHD
• If direct play fails, MSP retries once, then falls back to transcoding (when enabled).
