Overview

Medianav consists of three parts:

• A fileserver containing the actual media files (TV shows, Movies, etc)
• An application server running Django to manage your media collection and provide web services
• A python front-end that can play the media built on top of mplayer and uses web services to get meta information from the app server

All three components can run on separate servers or be combined. Multiple front-ends can also be used.

Status

The source code is available, but no pre-packaged version is available yet. The database structure and interfaces are still changing too much. Once everything is stable a 1.0 version will be released.
