RelayTV
Your couch becomes the control room with RelayTV, a self-hosted media hub that runs on the Linux box plugged into your TV. Connect Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby once, then search films, open a series, pick an episode, resume where you stopped, or drop the pick into the shared queue. Paste a web video link to play it on the big screen, or queue an entire YouTube playlist of up to a thousand videos in order without pausing tonight's movie. The TV idles on a dashboard with a QR code, and anyone in the room scans it to join the same remote, browse, and add picks to the queue. Add M3U playlists to build a My Channels lineup, pin favorites to the top, rewind inside the buffered window when you miss a line, and jump straight back to live. Playback, queue advancement, history, and overlays all run on the box itself, so the TV keeps playing after your phone leaves the page. Every screen appears in Home Assistant as a media player, and the local HTTP API takes play, queue, overlay, and snapshot calls from scripts and dashboards. A second RelayTV in the bedroom can receive the active queue from the living room, and the optional API token locks control down on shared networks. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
