- Fix merged playback-state dropping season/episode, which broke series resume restore entirely. - Track watch progress per episode (episodes map keyed S..E.., with done markers on completion) while keeping one continue point per series as the last watched episode, used for spoiler protection and season selection. MPC-BE tracker resumes from each episode's own position. - Assumed-playback fallback for any player and server-only mode: a launch starts a session and the guessed position (base + elapsed, capped at runtime) is written when frontend activity resumes; the real MPC-BE tracker overrides guesses via timestamps. Frontend reports input activity (throttled) via POST /api/activity. - Ignore watches under 5 minutes in both trackers. - Episode tiles show a small quadrant-circle watch indicator; near end counts as fully watched, no data shows nothing. - Fix episode audio ownership: single audioOwnerKey shared by mouse hover and keyboard/gamepad focus, no longer clobbered by playback sync; idle fade can be re-armed by continued activity.
MediaHive
Netflix style browsing of your local media archive. Supports keyboard, mouse and gamepad navigation. Uses your favorite movie player.
Windows and Mac portable ZIP downloads
Getting Started
- Windows and macOS: Download the portable ZIP from the releases page, extract it anywhere, and run
MediaHive. - Linux and other platforms: Install UV and run directly with
uvx --from mediahive[gui] mediahive.
What It Does
- Scans your chosen media folder for all movies and series that can be found
- Produces preview video clips and downloads metadata
- Search on names and other metadata, not just titles
- Hand off playback to your preferred system player
Windows and macOS builds are currently portable-only (no installer). On first startup, the app asks for your media folder, which you can later change using the in-app folder icon.
Note that .mediahive folder is created in your media folder to hold all the metadata and preview clips, avoiding the lengthy processing that you will see on initial startup.

Background
This project started as a personal project that I have used for browsing my warez for some time now. It is still in early development, but I have just now made it public for a wider audience.
