dms is a lightweight UPnP/DLNA digital media server written in Go that streams media directly from local filesystems to compatible devices. It allows users to share audio, video, and image files across networks to devices such as smart TVs, mobile apps, and Chromecast. The server operates from the command line and automatically advertises its presence using SSDP, enabling easy discovery by clients. It supports basic transcoding using FFmpeg, allowing playback compatibility across different devices and formats. dms can also generate thumbnails and provide metadata for browsing media libraries. It includes support for dynamic streams, enabling integration with live sources such as RTSP feeds. Overall, it offers a simple and efficient solution for home media streaming with minimal setup.
