Landing page captured for the 2026-11-15 issue.

For: People with film and TV files on disk or NAS
Worth noticing: It says it checks connected equipment to set refresh rate, HDR, receiver audio passthrough, and subtitle behavior.

Field notes

The homepage contrasts file-browser players, configurable media centers, and server-based libraries, then presents Skrin as an attempt to bridge those trade-offs. Its setup description covers refresh-rate matching, HDR, audio passthrough when a receiver supports it, and subtitle selection. The page lists Windows 11 and Linux; its Android TV version is marked early.
