- Use cached segments for seamless seeking and fast resume.
- If another user starts playback with the same parameters, reuse existing cached data to minimize transcoding and bandwidth usage.
- **CDN Capabilities and P2P Federation**
- **Lightweight CDN Node:**
- Each CDN node runs as a standalone executable binary that can be easily deployed by both technical and non-technical users.

- Each CDN node runs as a standalone executable binary that can be easily deployed by both technical and non-technical users.
- Minimal configuration required:
- **Data Directory:** Defines where cached media files are stored.
- **Optional Name:** Human-readable CDN identifier (used for UI labeling and dynamic DNS registration).
- **Mode:** Can operate as a **shared CDN** (available to multiple users) or a **local-only CDN**.

- **Mode:** Can operate as a **shared CDN** (available to multiple users) or a **local-only CDN**.
- **Secure Connectivity:**
- Each CDN connects to the **main metadata server** using a **pre-shared key** for authentication and trust establishment.
- This ensures only authorized CDNs can register and exchange data with the main network.

- **Dynamic Registration & Discovery:**
- Upon startup, the CDN connects to the **main metadata server** and automatically registers itself.
- The main server assigns a **dynamic DNS name** to each CDN for seamless connectivity.
- CDNs periodically update their metadata to report available content, storage capacity, and health status.

- **Content Awareness & Distribution:**
- The main server maintains a global index of all available CDNs and the content cached on each.
- Users can choose which CDN should serve their content in the client UI.
- **Content Awareness & Distribution:**
- The main server maintains a global index of all available CDNs and the content cached on each.
- Users can choose which CDN should serve their content in the client UI.
- If a requested content is missing from the selected CDN, users have two options:
1. **Request content replication:** Copy or prefetch the content from another CDN or the main server.
2. **Stream fallback:** Stream the content directly from the main server or the nearest available CDN.

- **Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Sharing:**
- CDNs and the main server interconnect via **P2P protocols** to simplify file transfer and reduce reliance on centralized infrastructure.
- This enables faster, bandwidth-efficient distribution of popular content between geographically distributed CDNs.

- This enables faster, bandwidth-efficient distribution of popular content between geographically distributed CDNs.
- **Federation & Collaboration:**
- Multiple CDNs can share content and metadata within a trusted federation network.
- The system can automatically balance or replicate popular content across CDNs to optimize bandwidth usage and ensure availability.
- **Future Idea - Predictive Caching:**
- CDNs may automatically pre-cache upcoming content based on user activity patterns.
- If a user watches the first movie in a series, the CDN pre-fetches sequels (e.g., parts 2, 3, etc.).
- If a user starts a new TV show, the CDN preloads subsequent episodes or seasons.
- This predictive caching minimizes latency and improves the user experience by ensuring likely-next content is available instantly.

- **Metadata Management:**
- Automatically identify and fetch metadata from databases like IMDb, TVDB, etc.

## Nice to Have / Later
- **Sync Play:** Watch movies or shows together in real time across multiple clients.
- **Sync Play:** Watch movies or TV shows together in real time across multiple clients.
- **Integration with ARR Stack:** Compatibility with Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, and similar automation tools.
- **Parental controls**
- **Jellyfin-Compatible API** and **Plex-Compatible API**
- **Plugin Support:** Extend functionality with custom or third-party plugins.
- **Smart Playback Features:**
- Intro, outro, recap skipper.
- **Recommendations:** Personalized movie and series suggestions based on user history and preferences.
- **Recommendations:** Personalized movie and TV show suggestions based on user history and preferences.
- **External Sync:** Sync watch history, ratings, and metadata with services like Trakt.tv.
- **Subtitle Management:** Automatic subtitle fetching, editing, and syncing with playback. - Probably bazarr is enough for that.
- **Multi-Format Detection:** Detect multiple versions (e.g., 1080p, 4K, HDR) of the same media and show them in a unified view.
- **IPTV / Live TV:** Stream and manage live channels alongside on-demand content.
