I created this project some years back and the project just reached v1.1.0. I know most people have jellyfin servers and all set up, but if you have just a local folder of all your series saved up, you can use this to remember what you were watching.
All feedback is welcome. You can also contribute to the project
I have jellyfin all set up on a media server so this won't do much for me. That said, this is pretty slick looking and has a good use case. If I'd not been aiming to share with my long distance girlfriend I'd probably have opted for this kind of thing. Nice work op!
Do you know how to code? If so I would love on adding network share features. But I don't have a server and all setup to test it.
Unfortunately my coding is limited to a semester of python in college so i'm not much use there.
Ohhh. No worries. Thanks for the feedback. If I ever acquire the hardware to test I will add the features
My jellyfin server is literally just a raspberry Pi 5 with an external 5 terabyte HDD. The hardware isn't so bad price wise. If you do build something for and want more testing feel free to hit me up and I'll play with it
Honestly, I wouldn't try to develop this for network sharing. That would make it encroach a lot on the territory of dedicated server software like jellyfin which most likely has a lot more development power behind it.
Probably better to focus on your niche
I am building this mainly for my personal use. Plus most of dedicated software tries to pander to a large audience incuring bloat. Hence I am not adding networking features now. But I really love my software and if I set up over the network media servers I will update this to that. It's ultimately my code and as you can see by the lack of other people contributing and the software not being that massively popular I don't think anybody will mind.
This looks awesome, I'll be sure to check it out.
Thank you so much. Feel free to leave any comments you might have
...How do I use it? I downloaded it via MSYS2 on Windows 10 and I'm struggling to find a way to run the app.
If you installed it via
cargo install offlix
Then t should be available as a cli app. Also the app should be located in .cargo/bin in your MSYS2 home
No installed via
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-mpv
I'll try via cargo and see how I go
edit: getting the below:
# ~
$ cargo install offlix
-bash: cargo: command not found
# ~
$ cargo install offflix
-bash: cargo: command not found
You don't have cargo installed is what that message is telling you
Looks great.
I'll give it a try.
Thank you so much
Are there similar projects? I was looking for something of this type for long.
I didn't find anything and hence I made it.
Kodi (https://kodi.tv) does the same thing & more. People think of it as a sort of streamer but its original/main purpose is to manage local media downloads including movie/tv series.
Tried it, Too heavy for my usecase
Also I cannot use MPV to watch my videos.
You like mpv? I like mpv. And guess what offflix uses mpv
Tried it, Too heavy for my usecase
That's fair, Kodi is way more feature rich. I love it personally but realistically don't need to use everything Kodi is capable of.
Also I cannot use MPV to watch my videos.
Been happy with Kodi's internal player but they do have configurations for external players including MPV https://kodi.wiki/view/External_players
BTW you should also look at Jellyfin, slightly different use case but it too is designed to manage local media including TV/Movies.
And since you mentioned MPV that also exists with Jellyfin https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-mpv-shim
Oof, hope you're holding up watching Made in Abyss lol
I completed all of what has been released till now. I watched season 1 and then experienced the super long hiatus. I never expected s2 to come out.
Is there a season 2 coming? I hadn't heard! I'm pretty sure I'm behind, I've only seen up to the first movie that came out after the series. I've never watched a series that throws so many gut punches lol
After the movie there is an entire season. And a season 3 is coming soon. I suggest you re-watch from the start. Wouldn't want to miss out on little kids suffering /s. But honestly it is a very beautiful anime.
This looks great! Only thing id say to add is instead of just watch random episode, watch random show/movie but if its a show continue where you left off.
If you ever plan on adding a watch with friends feature you might be interested in Multiplex which lets you stream media with your friends and have the play/pause sync up https://github.com/pojntfx/multiplex
This might actually come in handy for me.
Please try it out and leave feedback if you wish. I am happy if it helps even one more person than me.
fellow made in abyss enjoyer
It's like Kodi-lite, specifically for shows? It's not for me, but cool that it's out there
Yes... Though I haven't used kodi. I thought of including movies too... But I couldn't think of a place to reliably scrape tags and details about movies.
I'm confused on the installation on Ubuntu you download libmpv then what? I've also installed cargo.
Just type cargo install offflix. Then you will get it.
Thank you for helping me, I'm still having issues though. Now it is with openssl which I have confirmed that I have installed. Sorry Im sending a wall of text below but I wanted to include the full error message. Once again thank you for your help.

Seems like you need openssl for some dependancy. What distro are you using. You can install openssl development libraries and check again.
I just saw you said ubuntu
You need to run
sudo apt install libssl-dev
The run
cargo install offflix
It fixed that issue but now there is a new one here is the error message that I am getting now. The message is so long that I have to put it on paste bin https://bin.disroot.org/?8c1747a08e3ce021#2i5ZpnjAjUrHQVrE8Q8Ea9hiWiJoe2V3XMePRHhdnbEs, but here is the start and end of the error message below.

You need a c compiler. Install gcc or clang
sudo apt install gcc
sudo apt install clang
It is still having the same error as before even with installing clang.
Did you install cargo using rustup? Or did you use the system package manager. Using rustup is the preferred method.
PS I don't have my dev machine with me a this moment. But as I can see many people have so many installation issues, I will try to create a flatpak for the application. I will post soon
It just tried using my system package manager, I will try with rustup and if that doesn't work I'll wait for the flatpak. Thank you for all your help!
Uninstall the system package manager... Then install with rustup.
Weird its still giving me the same error after doing that, I'll just wait for the flatpak thanks for all your help though.
I see... Okay then.
That'd be perfect for my use case, but no sync to/from series tracking sites is a deal breaker.
The software inherently tracks the series for you. The data is saved in your .config/offflix folder
