Libraries for everything you keep
Separate libraries for movies, TV, anime, music and audiobooks, with live channels and recordings in Live TV and DVR. Portico adds artwork and details without touching the original files.
Features
For the people who watch, and whoever runs the server.
Viewers get their own home screen, their libraries and a player. Owners get the server controls, and viewers never see them. Everything on this page is free.
Your progress and your lists follow you between devices.
Browse, search, save and resume with the same profile wherever you use Portico. Start on the TV and finish on your phone, on the same server.
- Continue Watching follows you between screens
- My List, history and ratings stay with your profile
- Every app signs in to the same server, so everything stays in one place
Posters, cast and episodes, filled in for you.
Portico reads your folders and fills in backdrops, cast and the full season and episode list for each title. If a title is matched wrong, you can pick the right one.
How to fix a match
What's in Portico Server.
An account for everyone
Each person signs in with their own account, and each profile keeps its own progress, My List, history and preferences. The server owner decides which libraries and actions each account can use.
Playback that fits the device
Portico plays the original file whenever it can. When a device, audio track, subtitle or connection needs something else, the server remuxes it into a compatible container or transcodes what it has to.
Live TV and DVR
Bring in compatible channels and guide data, watch live, schedule recordings and resolve conflicts, all on the same server.
Direct remote connections
A Portico Account helps your apps find and verify your server. Media then streams directly from your server to your app, never through Portico Services.
Server management built in
Libraries, people, playback, remote access, Live TV, scheduled work, backups, diagnostics and server health, all managed from Settings → Server in Portico Web.
