WideoHub, Base on Wetflix2 Server � your own streaming server, your rules.
WideoHub is a self-hosted content server for organizing and watching your personal library.
It exists not because there aren�t alternatives, but because building it was the challenge �
and full control is the point.
Self-hosted & private
Your media, your server, your rules. No tracking, no lock-in, share with friends on your terms.
Beautiful browsing
Clean, responsive UI with posters, hover states, ratings, and fast lists — tailored to a dark blue/purple theme.
Smart metadata
Pulls story, cast and ratings from OMDb without touching your technical file metadata.
Extensible
Strongly-typed DTOs, simple services, and a design system of CSS tokens for site-wide changes.
Built for friends & family
Login is limited; you can request an account. The app was built primarily for my circle but is deployable elsewhere.
Pragmatic tech
ASP.NET Core (Blazor Server), EF Core + PostgreSQL, SFTP storage, FFmpeg/probe integration.
Video streaming
Stream and watch videos directly in the app.
Ticket system
Users can report issues; admins/moderators manage tickets with a simple history. Comments planned.
Email templates & sending
Prebuilt templates for announcements and user feedback flows (e.g., ticket creation).
Global messages
Quickly display notices such as maintenance info to users. Overlays and per-user targeting planned.
Watch history & progress
Track what you've watched and resume where you left off.
Management & charts
Admin/Moderator management views with charting (ApexCharts).
