Built different

The architecture decisions that set Aviato apart.

Plugin architecture

JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol. Write plugins in Python, Go, Rust, Node — any language that speaks JSON. Metadata agents, subtitle providers, notifications, and more.

Any storage, anywhere

Local directories, SMB/NFS shares, S3, Backblaze B2. Mount what you have — Aviato adapts to your setup, not the other way around.

Deploy in seconds

One Docker container. One command. No complex dependency chains, no multi-service orchestration. Running in under a minute.

Private by design

No telemetry, no library harvesting, no central auth service. Your server is yours alone. Aviato never phones home.

Hardware-accelerated transcoding when available. Pre-optimize media in advance or transcode on-the-fly for buffer-free streaming.

Format support

4K, HDR, HEVC, AV1, 3D, Dolby Vision, DTS, Atmos — all modern formats out of the box.

Secure streaming

TLS encryption for all remote streams. Your media stays protected in transit.

Server monitoring

Playback history, bandwidth usage, and server analytics to keep you informed.

Skip intros & credits

Jump straight to the content with community-powered intro and credit detection via plugins.
