Rich local libraries
Movies, TV, anime, music, and audiobooks are modeled from the start with metadata, watch state, search, and library-specific rows.
Private media. Native clients. Direct connections.
Your personal media server, built like a premium streaming platform.
Portico organizes the media you own, powers rich playback experiences, and keeps the local server in control across phones, tablets, browsers, TVs, and streaming devices.

Server capabilities
Everything a real household media system needs.
Portico is designed around the full lifecycle: scan, match, organize, stream, resume, administer, and extend to native clients without losing the security boundary around your media.
Playback that adapts
Direct play, direct stream, HLS transcoding, FFmpeg analysis, range requests, HDR handling, and resume state are part of the server architecture.
Live TV support
Portico supports admin-managed M3U/M3U8, XMLTV, and Xtream-style sources with guide-aware browsing and resilient playback states.
Multi-user by design
Each account gets isolated watchlists, playback history, progress, permissions, and client preferences instead of shared household state.
Admin control center
Library scans, users, access rules, diagnostics, transcode health, settings, and operational status belong in the same production-shaped server UI.
API-first foundation
A versioned OpenAPI contract keeps first-party and future third-party clients aligned with the server instead of duplicating behavior.

Unified experience
The same server powers every screen.
The web UI is the administrative and desktop hub. Native clients use the same API contracts for browsing, details, playback sessions, remote routes, permissions, and account state.
Client apps
Made for the screens people actually use.
Portico's client roadmap covers touch, desktop, TV, and streaming-device surfaces, with each client shaped for its platform rather than stretching one web layout everywhere.
Security posture
Private media stays under local server authority.
Portico treats security as product architecture. Media, streams, settings, and history require authentication by default. Remote access is designed around direct client-to-server routes, with cloud services used for discovery and certificates rather than media relay.
- Authenticated streamsPlayback endpoints repeat authorization checks.
- Permission-aware librariesObject-level access controls protect every user's view.
- No cloud media proxyCloud services coordinate routes; they do not inspect or cache streams.
- Controlled file accessLibraries are explicit roots, not arbitrary path-serving surfaces.
Server platform
Runs where your library lives.
Portico's server is built as a production-shaped Go service for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with FFmpeg integration, structured diagnostics, deployment templates, and a web UI served from the same binary.
