Self-hosted · DVD & CD · Private streaming
Your collection,
not their catalog.
The Media Box turns the discs already on your shelf into a private streaming library — ripped once, yours for good, playing on every screen and speaker in the house.
How it works
Insert
Any DVD or CD. The Media Box tells which is which the moment the drive spins up — no mode to pick.
Identify
Matched automatically against TMDB or MusicBrainz — title, year, cover art, cast, credits, filled in.
Rip
Full quality. Every audio track and subtitle worth keeping, kept — nothing silently dropped.
Stream
Filed straight into your library, ready on any TV, phone, or speaker on the network — instantly.
Why own it
Streaming subscriptions rent you a catalog that changes without asking. A shelf of discs, once digitized, doesn't.
Nothing expires
No title vanishes because a license lapsed. What you rip is yours, on your own drives, indefinitely.
The original tracks
Original-language audio and real subtitle tracks, the ones streaming platforms routinely leave off.
Runs on hardware you control
A small box on your own network. No account to close, no company to trust with the collection.
