Kinora searches streaming sources from your own server
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
Kinora is an open-source, self-hosted streaming server with a web interface and an Android TV app. It searches its configured sources when a viewer presses play.
- For
- Self-hosters setting up a home media server
- Worth noticing
- Streams pass through the server as signed links that expire after 12 hours; the page says it is not an open proxy.
Field notes
The installation path is spelled out as a short Docker Compose setup, with the TMDB key stored in an .env file. Kinora says its server image supports amd64 and arm64, including Raspberry Pi, and that accounts are created by the operator rather than through public sign-up. The page describes signed stream links that expire after 12 hours, but does not identify the sources being searched.
