FEATURES
What you get.
Four things matter. Each is described as it works today — no roadmap padding.
01 · THE DEVICE GATE
You decide what’s on your network
Every new screen is a question only you can answer. The first time a device opens lantv, a prompt appears on your computer: yes or no. One yes is remembered; a no watches nothing. No accounts to create, no passwords to hand out.
02 · THE LIBRARY
A library made from your folder
Point lantv at the folder where your videos live — that’s the setup. You name and organise things yourself, and lantv fetches no artwork, titles or ratings from anywhere, because it doesn’t talk to the internet at all. Manual by design; the trade-off is listed with the other limitations.
03 · EVERY SCREEN
Plays on anything with a browser
Phones, tablets, laptops, TVs and game consoles with a browser — if it can open a web page on your network, it can watch. Nothing to install, nothing new to buy, nobody’s app store in between.
04 · THE LONG FILM
The computer stays awake for the credits
A film is two hours; a computer’s idea of idle is ten minutes. While anything is streaming, lantv holds the machine awake — on Windows and Linux, without touching your power settings — and lets go the moment the last stream ends. Nobody walks to the study mid-scene to jiggle a mouse.
That’s the whole surface. The limits are listed just as plainly — read them →
